Hi Wes,
Yep, if you'd like you can definitely go with the 6,000 lb capacity, 26" long 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 6,000-lb Trailer Axles # e94SR.
It's not going to hurt anything, though the ride will be a bit stiffer compared to the 4,500 lb # e27SR leaf springs. If you're okay with that though, and like the added robustness of the 6k springs, you most certainly can do that.

Hey Wes, how did the 6,000‑lb leaf springs work out on your tandem axle setup? Did the stiffer ride feel like a good trade‑off for the extra strength? Your update could make it easier for others choosing between those two spring options.
