Just food for thought,
It is hard to go "overkill" when buying a trailer. I prefer the dual axle brakes and 2-5/16" ball.
My trailer came with #3500 axles (5-lug) and I had several wheel bearings let go on it. Granted, I've had it since 1983 and have had 4 sets of tires on it, but none the less, the bearing problems never happen at a good time.
Since then, I have dumped the wimpy axles and installed #6000 axles and 8-lug wheels (load range "E" tires). I now fly down the interstate at 75-80 with no worries of tire failure (or bearing)!
