One might expect that is total weight. For axle load you need to deduct tongue weight (mine is 435 lbs +/-) and tire/wheel weight (2 @ 35 lbs each) but is the reason I have not fitted (and never needed) a WDH.
Dexter does have a 5k lb axle that can be ordered to fit. About $800 last time I looked and has 6 bolt wheels. OTOH I have seen no report of an axle ever failing.
