I like it. Should boost your axle capacity by a couple hundred pounds per side (there was no calculation involved; it was justa  SWAG).

The supporting axle stayed in place, the outriggers are bolted to it with the back of the risers sandwiched in-between.
If you want something done right, do it yourself.

That looks good! Are you keeping your plan A piece in place? That will help to carry the moment (torque) created when the axle end pushes up on your new part so your don't bend the trailer frame rail.
