Unfortunately I am not able to tell what axles you have on your trailer without more information from you. The easiest way to tell a capacity is by simply measuring the diameter, but the more accurate option is to pull off one of your hubs and get the bearing numbers from your inner and outer bearings as well as the seal. I've attached an article to assist in getting that information.

Typical Axle Diameters Based on Axle Capacity:
1,000-lb - 2,000-lb Axles: 1-1/2" - 1-3/4" diameter
3,500-lb Axles: 2-3/8" or 3" diameter (Can have a 3-1/2" diameter, but rarely)
5,200-lb - 7,200-lb Axles: 3" diameter
8,000-lb Axles: 3-1/2" diameter
9,000 lb Axles: 4" diameter
10,000-lb Or more axles: 5" diameter
