All I know is that when I traded 800 pound bars for 600 pound bars with a tongue weight of plus or minus 600 pounds, my towing experience improved. The ride was smoother and the harshness of some highway bumps was lessened. If 1,000 pound bars are recommended for 400 pound tongue weight, why not use 1,200, that would only be a few percent more (300% versus 250%) of design strength.
