I have had a Kauffman 27 foot (lower deck with flip ramps) and 9 foot planked upper deck GN for years that I regularly overload with round bales. I have the oil bath axles on leaves and the only modification I had to do was I added gusset plates to the lower spring mounts because I was twisting them when overloaded making tight turns. Other than that and the typical crappy paint job and exposed hanging wiring. no issues. Never turned into a swayback either and I've never strapped it below the lower frame rail, which is common on overloaded trailers.
