Those tags are the axel manufacturer's certification tags. Their maximum load capacity for your vehicle is not valid, unless the vehicle certification label list's your GAWRs as 7000#. The vehicle certificating label is found on the trailer's left forward external section of the trailer.
All Trailer builders have the authority to set axle GAWRs to a load that is acceptable for a balanced load at certification time.
