Since you're not convinced by the numbers I quoted that show you will clearly be towing with gross tongue weight in excess of 600 lbs and beyond the rated range of your Equal-i-zer's 600 lb spring bars why waste the time calling other Jayco dealers and confuse yourself even further when the simple solution is to call Progress Mfg and ask them?

FWIW, I used the 10,000 / 1,000 lb Equal-i-zer for 6 yrs to tow my K-Z Spree 240BH-LX which averaged ~ 5500 lbs loaded & ready to camp with an average gross tongue weight of ~ 750 lbs and the ride certainly wasn't "stiff" as some of the pundits here claim. :R
