House-trailer axles are usually cheap crap. Nice thing though, is the "cheap" part. I can buy them with wheels and tires for $80 - $100 per axle with brakes. Such axles are not made to last very long at their rated capacity - but seem to do fine if you de-rate them. Here's a paragraph from the Dexter Axle website and their disclaimer from:>Link

"AXLES>Link - Can mobile home axles be reused?
The Dexter MH (mobile home) type axle is designed for limited usage in the delivery of manufactured homes and has a one-time limit use. The axle has steel forged spindles that are not precision ground. The brake assembly is welded onto the beam and not intended to be field replaced. Additionally, the bearing package is smaller than the more expensive service type axle. Most MH axles are also equipped with a single leaf spring suspension for very heavy loads. We do not have components that would convert MH axles to servicable assemblies. "
