I wouldn't use an FJ62 axle, a 3,500 lb. standard trailer axle will be much lighter and will stand up to a lot of abuse. You can get it custom-made to the same width as your axle.

I towed my modified M416 trailer all over the southwest with my old FJ62. I wasn't breaking any speed records, especially going uphill, but I never found it a big issue and the old 3F handled it fine.
