a properly seated 7/16" snap ring can take a 3,000 lbf thrust load, if I remember correctly. The key here is properly seated. As long as you can cut the groove properly, ensure proper axial spacing so the snap ring groove isn't interfered with, and don't re-use snap rings, you shouldn't experience any problems.
