Expert Reply:
It can be very difficult to tell the difference between 6000 and 7000 lb axles because they both typically have a 3 inch diameter. Most of the components for your axle will cover both capacities, so the only way to tell is to look for markings on the axle itself or find a GVWR on your trailer and then divide based on the number of axles.
