My comment. Dexter makes 6000lb axles with disk brakes as I had them on my FW. They also have different sise bearings for different weight. I would not be sure that axles are 8000lb as hubs can be interchangeable. Find numbers on axles and contact Dexter with numbers and they will give you all the details re axles brakes and springs. Shifting axles may not be a option as previous comments re slides etc but definitely better if possible than adding extra weight op front as well.

They are definitely 8,000 lb axles; I just went through this exercise with a Dexter dealer to get the hub. There are a few ways to tell including the brake configuration on these trailers. I have the same model trailer as the OP.
