No, in order to be legal on all axles I need 3 on the trailer when I put 2 rollers on it. I forget about the 80k limit for most states. I pull in Montana so I can go to 96k if the axle spacing is correct. If my truck is grossing 80k or under it thinks it is on a vacation. My truck only weighs in at 21k full of fuel and chains so the extra weight of the trailer does not hurt as much.
Personally, I would go used because of the price. I have found some nearly new 3 axle trailers for pretty cheap. I love this trailer for moving pavers. You do need some extra ramps that we built out of aluminum frame rails or the hopper will drag.

I've put 87,000lbs on a three axle flip tail. The right ones are fairly stout trailers. They do sit a bit higher and you have to be more careful loading because of height.
they're also a bit less stable than a lowboy. Making tight turns with an 80,000lb machine on a flip you feel it lean in turns.
