I don't need to take weight off of the rear of my truck. I weight my truck and trailer. Trailer loaded is 5577 lbs and weight my truck only and truck only with weight distribution attached to trailer. The tongue weight with distribution bars attached is 595 lbs. So my guess is the actual tongue weight is a lot more. My weight bars are for 550 lbs max. My truck sits just as I want it too but I do get a little bounce from the trailer. I don't really feel it on my tv thought. I just thought that stronger bars would stiffen the bounce that I'm getting.
So if you used stronger bars, you would adjust them so the weight distribution is the same as what you have now with the weaker bars. IOW the axle weights would end up being the same.
I dunno whether the bars affect the suspension other than by just taking weight off the rear and putting it back on the front (and the trailer).
Think I've seen some speculation as to stronger bars putting more stress on the trailer's frame over road dips and bumps. Would that translate into reducing bounce? Just dunno.
