While I know I cannot legally change the CCC of my trailer, it would be worth it to me in the long run to drop a some cash on changing the axles and what not. I have some homework to do, but I will know more once I weigh everything this weekend. It is funny, I have two printed brochures and the web site and all three give different weights listed for the same trailer.

You have all of the correct information. Before the manufacturer ships the trailer to the dealer they are required to update and install the certification label, tire placard and CCC label. The hitch weight is a value determined by the manufacturer. In the newest regulations it plays a significant roll in determining GAWR & GVWR. This is a brief description: The hitch weight (as published) added to the combined GAWR weight (s) MUST be equal to or greater than GVWR. Those figures must be valid at the time of first sale.
Once the new owner takes possession of the trailer it's their responsibility to insure none of the published load capacities are exceeded.
