The current 294 has a GVW of around 14,300 lb., not 15K. They claim hitch weight of 2300. I have never seen actual pin weight that isn't higher than advertised. So if you assume 2500 or 2600, the axles would carry 11,900 or 12000. So technically 6K axles are good, but might be a little light. I have a mountaineer and my wheels all weigh in at 5500 to 5800 because I run lighter than the max. Keystone certainly doesn't overbuild any trailer, tho!!! LOL
