the biggest problem I see in doing this is no matter how many axles you add the legal GVW is printed on the side of the trailer
I don't give a darn what the "legal" GVW on the side of my trailer says.
The trailer was hardly safe with the stock 6,000 pound axles, Chinabomb tires and electric brakes. It is much, much safer as it sits now with 7,000 pound axles, 265 LT tires and hydraulic disk brakes. It will be even safer as a triple axle trailer with a heavier frame.
Adding the 3rd axle and beefing up the frame more than makes up for any risk that adding the rear rack adds.
