Expert Reply:
There isn't a great way to identify the weight capacity of a torsion axle by the size. The only true way to determine capacity if an axle tag is not present would be to pull the hubs and measure the spindle or read the part numbers on the bearings and seals. I have attached a help article that explains this further as well as a list of our hubs.
