Been thinking about replacing my 1 year old dump trailer. Just too many issues, most of which I have already fixed. Several design flaws which make it less than optimal including not being able to dump on rough ground because the tail lights will get ripped out when you pull forward with the bed up. I already had an axle fail (replaced for free) and I had my welding shop reconfigure the front box arrangement so I could have room to operate the tongue jack without my knuckles hitting the back of my truck. I still have issues with the flimsy gate latches as well as the doors which are half the weight/thickness of the rest of the trailer.
Current is a 7x14x4 with 7k lb axles which is pretty standard. Found a place that makes them up to 7x20x4 with 7k, 8k or 9k axles. Currently getting prices for 7x16x4 and 7x18x4 with 8k and 9k axles. I think I will take a drive up there next week and have a look in person (about 160 miles away).
