All axles have a plate or are stamped with a load rating ( center of tube). This is mandatory for the U.S. and Canada. 8000 lb axles are not very common; 5200, 6000, and 7000 are. As ratings increase the spindle and wheel will not meet the higher ratings. That's why they go to duallys. Those are normally 10,000 per axle.
