My concern for my TT is which weight class model?
My new TT 10,000# gtw. If loaded to the max, which I doubt I would ever be, would have a tongue weight of 1200-1400# range.
There are only two possible Blue Ox models to choose from:
Blue Ox Sway Pro model 10,000 gtw - 1,000 tongue weight.
Next closest model is 15,000 gtw - 1,500 tongue weight.
Nothing in between. The fist one is to light of tongue weight rating. and the second may be too stiff being rated for 15,000 gtr.
It's not the gross weight of the trailer that should determine which spring bars you should use but rather the trailer's anticipated gross tongue weight. Either weigh your trailer as it would typically be loaded for a camping trip OR based on the trailer's stickered dry weight estimate what it typically would weigh, based on what you know you add in preparation to go camping. 13% to 14% of that gross trailer weight is a good range to target as gross tongue weight ... if that number is more than 10% over the rating of the 1000 lb spring bars then go to the 1500 lb bars. Blue Ox clearly doesn't feel it's necessary to offer spring bars rated between 1000 and 1500 lbs, there's no reason for you to be concerned about it either.
