Probably not. Presuming you have a typical tongue weight of 600 lbs, the weight on the axle would be no more than 4023 - 600 = 3423 lbs. And it would actually be a bit less than that because the weight of the tires, rims, and the axle itself is not supported by the axle, and so the weight of all those components (maybe 200 lbs?) can be subtracted further.
