Nothing to do with increasing capacity Its an option 1/2" up to 9/16" Studs and a larger outer bearing "More Beef" and you can run oil instead of grease. This is what they use on the 8,000 Lb Axle . Just bought From Stop Your Trailer.

Fair question, unless one is planning to add additional weight over the posted capacity it does not make a lot of sense. We are planning to have the disc brake and suspension upgrade through Performance Braking. I first received a quote in September but they are unable to do the install until at least April since we are in the Pacific NW, so we will wait.

The 310 is a bit unique in that the factory axles will carry almost all of the GVWR. It has the same 7k lb. axle setup that the larger , heavier Solitudes have. The weight limitation is probably more due to the two inch smaller main frame beams. Loaded for a two- three week trip we’re still under 14k , with a dishwasher and a combo W/D unit.

We add about 1600-1800 lbs when loaded including 50 gallons fresh water ... that's only around half of our CCC so I do not see disc in the future but final decision will be how the Ram and camper do stopping us... and I will be at the cat scale first trip loaded to see actual weights ... later Frank

So my question becomes if I order a NEW unit and add the 8K option above, will there be a higher GVWR sticker on the door as compared to a unit with the standard 7K?

Because of all the issues with 7k springs. I had to replace all 6 springs on a 1 1/2 year old rig because they were bad. the brakes were also shot so lippert sent me all new brake assemblies and drums. Added a leaf so they r now essentially 8k. If this was available when I purchased my trailer I would have definitely purchased it.
