If you have a choice, always buy EZ lube type spindles. They are drilled with a grease fitting in the tip of the spindle. Pumping grease into the fitting forces grease back thru the inboard and outboard bearings. No need to pack the bearings by hand with EZ lube. It uses double lip seals, a much better seal.
It looks like you made a great heavy frame on a pair of 6,000 to 7,000 lb axles. The empty weight of the trailer will cut deep into your carrying capacity, but if a PW is the heaviest thing you will carry, you should be good to go.
Congrats-good job!!
