The tongue weight on the trailer is 880lbs.


You know this because you've measured the trailer's gross tongue weight as the trailer would be typically loaded and ready to camp or are you pulling this number off a sticker somewhere? :@ Have you also weighed the trailer itself, ready to camp, so you know what the gross tongue weight to gross trailer weight ratio will typically average? :@ Can't really pick the correct WD spring bar rate 'til you have these numbers in hand.
