It will most likely work fine for you. .
For my next trailer, I'm going with
a higher rated axle than the
dual 1760# 14" tires (3500#) that I have now. I
don't tow much
weight, but here is my reasoning. I tow long distances. When
the
bearings decide to take a crap, and you don't know when that will
occur, you hope to catch the issue before the spindles get torn up.
That
could be at the side of a highway and as we know it is not
fun inspecting
or doing anything on the side of the highway. I
carry a spare axle and
multiple bearings, nuts, etc. The few
miles on one wheel with a load to get
off the highway, really
heats up that single bearing set on that side. A
higher rated axle
will help in that situation.
Only you can decide if it is
enough.
