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
The Equalizer models are 800, 1000, 1200, 1400....etc.
I made the assumption that the 905lb on the brochure and the trailer at the dealer was a little low, considering the trailer I have now was quite a bit off. So I went with the 1200lb hitch/12000lb trailer weight model.
