Hi Wes,

Yep, if you'd like you can definitely go with the 6,000 lb capacity, 26" long 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 6,000-lb Trailer Axles # e94SR.

It's not going to hurt anything, though the ride will be a bit stiffer compared to the 4,500 lb # e27SR leaf springs. If you're okay with that though, and like the added robustness of the 6k springs, you most certainly can do that.
