As Bill says, it is not necessary to change the axle. However, in practice, it is surprisingly easy to exceed the maximum weight rating for the axle, so I could understand the desire for some one to upgrade the axle as well. On the other hand, I haven't read anywhere on this forum where some one as bent or otherwise damaged an axle due to overloading.
