My brother in law and I built my trailer and I'd never do it again - it's heavier, worse designed, and a general pain in the ass.
DO NOT use truck tires for a trailer, use trailer tires on a trailer, period, no exceptions - been there blew the tires, ripped off the fenders, etc
buy a used bigger trailer if that's what you need.
If I could sell or trade my trailer for something that worked better and was lighter, I'd do it - but I'd never be able to get more than half of what I put into it thanks to my BIL over buying and over building on my dime. (long story)
As far as the rear axle - stick with OBS stuff - sell the truck and buy a dually if that's what you want.... or find a totalled superduty and swap over both ends so your OBS has all SD axles wheels, brakes.
