Just because you install a heavier axle does not change the gvwr of the trailer. When i had sob i had 6,000# axles and an 10'' frame. The Montanas have 7,000# axles and 12'' frames.The DRV Mobile Suites have 8,000# axles and 15'' frames. Sure your axles would be stronger moving up the scale but there is more than just axles that help carry the weight. It's easy to get a false sense of safety going to heavier axles. The old adage 'If it ain't broke, Don't fix it might apply here.
