WDH bars are designed for a range of weights. Each WDH system has some way to vary the amount of weight transferred to fine tune that. The Equal-i-zer 4-pt 1000 pound bars Ih ave read work well for 400-1000 pounds of TW.
Also, if the 500 pounds is a manufacturer's published dry weight, then 800 bars is quite appropriate. That 500 pounds is likely to grow, by 100-300 pounds by the time someone loads up for a long weekend.
FWIW, I use 1200 pound bars on my 7000 pound GVWR, 485 pound dry TW TV. It has worked well for 5 years.
