Expert Reply:
The hub ratings are for the axle capacity, and not the trailer weight capacity.
For example, The trailer hubs you came from, part # AKIHUB-545-35-EZ-K is designed for 3,500 lb axles. This hub includes the bearings races, seals, grease cap, and lug nuts. The individual hub capacity is 1,750 lbs.
