Hey Carter, it is possible to upgrade your axles but it really just comes down to getting the correct axle dimensions from your current axles and ordering the higher capacity with same dimensions. You need the hub face to hub face dimension as well as the distance between spring centers. We don't have any 10k axles though so you'd need to find a local trailer shop to you who can order customer axles and let them get you what you need.
