As Keith said, more trailer is better, look at your Flat Fender, and M37's, Dodges are over built, and so should the trailer. You go buy a FF and the guy throws in some extra goodies, tire's, wheels extra motor or what ever and you are over.
Life expectancy of a trailer rated at 7000 lbs and hauling that and more all the time will take it's toll.
Then consider the safety margin, hauling down the highway, it's nice to have some margin at highways speeds, unless you want to 35 mph all the time.
Spend a little, and you will not regret it!
