The Blue Ox is pricy too! Not a show stopper if it is the right tool for this job.
I know I need to weight the rig, but by eyeball for the weights (3700 to 4400 pounds trailer weight), does 750 pound bars sound about right?
Based on your guesstimate as to what this trailer will weigh loaded & ready to camp you'd be running somewhere around 600 lbs of gross tongue weight, plus or minus, so sure a Blue Ox Sway Pro which is available with 750 lb spring bars would work just fine. BTW, not only is the Sway Pro easy to set up but if you ever change to a different trailer that would require heavier or lighter spring bars all you have to change are the spring bars, with an Equal-i-zer you have to change the head as well, at which point you might as well sell the entire system and buy another. One commonality - the Sway Pro, like the Equal-i-zer, doesn't require the use of a separate friction sway bar.
