I would not change just one axle as the equalizer distributes the weight equally to each, so the old axle will still be over loaded. The most common cause of bent axles is from the axle hitting the frame. Look for evidence of that. Hitting the frame is usually caused by worn or mismatched suspension components, so check that closely. To get heavier axles than 3500lb you need to go to the next family up which is 5200, 6000, 7000. That will require 6 or 8 bolt wheels.
If it was mine I would start with a thurough inspection of all the components, suspension, springs, brakes and bearings. That way you will know what you actually need and if it's worth fixing. If all you need is an axle tube they can be had for about $150.00.
If you want to go heavier it is most always more cost effective to sell what you have and buy another.

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
