Bill, I assume (probably incorrectly) that you are asking about load distribution bars. if you measure the tongue weight (weigh station or bathroom scales with a lever), and take 3 measurements of your rig (Rear TV overhang, trailer hitch to axle , load bar length) with a tape, you can enter these figures into equation 8 at post 1 to this thread. A few minutes with pencil and paper or calculator will give you the minimum total capacity required for your load bars. You would then buy the next size above that figure in the catalogue. Setting up the system properly is another matter altogether, but that is covered in detail elsewhere.
If that idea doesn't float your boat, I'm sure owners of similar rigs will make recommendations.
