Towing a trailer heavier than the truck
This question is about equalizer hitches, and what size to purchase. The trailer is going to weigh about 20 to 25% more than the truck with this setup and I wonder whether there is any concern abou...

Your actual hitch, the part that bolts to the frame of the truck, and the ball, should have a capacity higher than the weight of the trailer. It will not have any bearing on handling unless it breaks. The spring bars should be rated kinda close to the tongue weight. 800lb TW would need 1000# bars, 1000# TW would need 1200# spring bars and so on.
