The combined 8,000 pound weight capacity for the Single Axle TrailerLegs Tire Saver Stands # 326-TRLLG-2 is enough to support the weight of your trailer but you will still want a set on each axle to provide proper lift on all 4 tires. Using just one set may keep the other axle low enough that those tires aren't off the ground.

We do have a tandem axle set with part # 326-TRLLG-4 that includes 4 stands. I have attached a short video review that you can check out as well.
