There's more to axles than just their rating. Say you compare 6000 lb axle to 8000 lbs axle, likely to require different wheels and tires, and the 8000 axle wheels/tires may not fit on a trailer designed for 6000 lb axle wheel/tire combos. How big is this 5th wheel you are considering? Make and model? ALWAYS have to consider the GVW.
