Axles for trailers are rated by weight carrying capacity. Same thing for tires.Even though it can fit a jeep (and I seen the trailer, and it looks short!) that doesn't mean it's rated for it. An average YJ, TJ, etc is going to weigh around 4000 pounds. Then you've got to add the weight of the trailer. Say another 1000-1500 pounds. So that trailer would need to have at least a 5000 axle, and two tires rated at least at 2500 each!My double axled car trailer has two 3500 axles, for a 7000 capacity. It weighs 1700 pounds. My Jeep weighs 4300. You do the math.Most equippment trailers will use 8 lug tires and axles, rated at 5000 each.
