Stainless Steel is not as strong as galvanized steel. It is softer metal.
I wouldn't use them on the axles.

Just for info sharing, I had an axle break on me in Lake Charles one time.
I took my trailer winch and pulled the axle back in place and binded it with
a motorcycle strap, but left the winch cable around the axle so it won't go
back against the trailer again. I was able to go slow to launch the boat and
tie it up to a dock till I got the trailer fixed.
