Upgrading to LT 16' tires from 15" is this alright?

Pth, crawl under the TT and there will be a sticker on the axle tube with the rating and specs on it. Axle rating is for the axle, so a 6000 lb axle can carry 600 lbs, 3000 on each wheel/tire. If you install tires rated at 2000 lbs each, you effectively have a 4000 lb axle rating.
