Dealer gave me wrong equal-I-zer size?
So I picked up a 2015 Jayco X23b hybrid today and the dealer installed the equalizer with the 600/6000 head/bars. Loaded trailer weight is 5000 max. I’ve read online people exceeding 600lbs on the to...

IMO, you’re fine. Jayco lists unloaded hitch weight at 365#. It’s a lightweight trailer, and I would bet equal-I-zer over-engineered a bit.
Disagree. The OP's 2015 X23B offers a mere 1045 lbs CCC even before anything including a battery is added to the trailer. With a GVWR of just 4950 lbs his challenge will be to keep the trailer's GVW, loaded & ready to camp, within that 4950 lb limit. At an average 13% gross tongue weight to gross trailer weight he could easily see this trailer's gross tongue weight average in the 650 lb to 700 lb range. To answer the OP's question - yeah, I'd move up to 1000 lb spring bars but that will require a new head as well.
I would hope the dealer would switch out the whole system, as they didn’t ask what I wanted. I’ll call them tomorrow.
