O.K. 2 3500# axles will give you a capacity of 7,000#, or 3.5 tons, but, you already have the weight of the empty trailer, about 1 ton, on those axles, so that leaves you 5,000#, or 2.5 tons of payload. Now, and here is the tricky part, how much of the payload that you put on the trailer is actually being placed on the tow vehicle, and how does that effect just how much you can haul on the trailer? I don't really know the answer to that question, but to avoid doing damage to the axles and springs, maybe you should stop at 3 tons.
