Montana Axle Change - Easy or Not?

My 2005 Montana 2955RL has 2 Dexter D52-8 (5,200lb 8 lug) axles. Given it's dry weight of 9,200lbs, this puts them right at the edge. I'm considering changing the axles to either 6k or 7k rated ones.

So... can I simply change the axles and use the same hub/brakes or would those have to be changed as well?

Really not enough info to analyze the overall reason for axle upgrade.
Do you have any weight data for the trailer loaded for a trip? Dry weight data is fairly useless for the analysis necessary to make an informed decision.
I will say that this era/brand trailer was minimum built to meet the factory stated GVWR and would probably be easily loaded to GVWR for full timing or dry camping situations.
