I'm not sure what you meant by the above sentence.
There is probably some kind of formula but if I had 500lbs of tongue weight I would want 500lb rated weight distribution bars. 1000lbs of tongue weight I would want 1000lb rated weight bars.
My trailer advertised 800 some pounds of tongue weight, but when I unhooked on the truck scale to get my real tongue weight it was almost twice that, a whopping 1500lbs. So I upgraded my weight distribution bars to 1200lb models and am very happy with the ride and set up. (Bought my trailer used and it came with 550lb rated bars)
All the best Cale, enjoy the trailer and all the fun memories you will make with it. Hans
