I spoke with Equalizer about this very thing. I bought a TT with a 950 lb dry tongue weight, figured I'd be good with the 1200 after I was loaded, he convinced me to go with the 1400, in case I went over 1200 lb. Said it would be better to have too big than too small.
Call them, tell them what you are towing, and what you are towing with, they will have the best advice.
While I am probably in the minority here I tend to agree with the experts at Equal-i-zer that getting a set of bars like one size larger than your expected actual TW is fine with one caveat and that is you need to have a TV that is capable of handling whatever you are towing with ease. If you have a TV that is only just squeaking by then too heavy of a bar could give you less than a great towing experience from a potential harshness prospective.
My TW is aloways between 900 and 1000 and I have been using a 12K/1.2K Equal-i-zer with no adverse effects ride wise.
