What are you towing with? Reason I ask is I had a similar size TT and towed it with two different trucks. One was a 2010 F150 Max Tow 154" WB, and the other was a 2102 Ram 2500 diesel CC LB 169" WB. The F150 need all the 1200 bars could muster to transfer enough weight back to the front. We also had a fair amount of stuff in the trucks bed.
With the 2500 and the heavy Cummins sitting up front I didn't need to return hardly any weight to return the front to normal height. I didn't need much of the 1200 bars. Could've went with light if needed. Sold the TT and got a 5th wheel so never had to deal with it.
Point being is there's variables that come into play when choosing bars.
