Congrats on the new rig combo!!!
Numbers don't look bad as mentioned. I also agree though on the wd bars being undersized, especially once loaded.... I would highly suggest a new 2.5" shank with the new wdh. When you mentioned hitch is rated for 1400, is that the trucks receiver hitch?
Good luck!!!
Receiver hitch is a class V receiver, although Im using a sleeve to reduce it to 2" vice 2.5" I couldn't find a shank that would drop enough that was a 2.5" So, even though it is a Class V and rated at 1700 tongue weight with WD hitch, Im assuming the reducer would bring it down some, to maybe a Class IV. I did have the reducer welded in, because I didn't like the added slop of using the receiver.
The WD hitch (Husky Centerline TS) may only be rated for 1200lbs. I know the shank is rated for 1500lbs, as I bought that separately. For sure the bars are only 1200.
