I can't speak for other WD hitches, but in the case of the Equal-I-Zer, it doesn't matter if you use higher-rated setup with a lighter trailer. Generally, the lighter setup does cost less, and perhaps that is the "reason" for the different size bars; however, if OP finds a heavier-rated one at a discounted rate, there's no harm there. Several threads on here and other forums where people have inquired with the manufacturer and they say it's fine to do so. Personal experience, my 1400/14000 setup tows my 5000lbs trailer just fine for the past 2 years. I see it as having room to grow should I choose a bigger TT next time around. And yes, I buy oversized shoes for the kids so I don't have to buy them again in 6 months because they grow so fast. :)
