$160 for the work and materials is not a bad deal at all for what you're getting for it.
It should not cause any sway problems as you will be basically evenly distributing the weight to the front and the rear.
See if the fabricator can do some quick reinforcement of the rear bumper though. It takes precious little load to overcome it in a dynamic loading situation. You may be able to put 1,000 pounds statically on the rear bunk end (much of which is not exactly transferred to the bumper) but you get bouncing down the road and a few years of vibrations could break it loose.
Don't forget that the worst that can happen includes something coming off in traffic and causing the vehicle(s) behind you to have problems.
