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.
