One more question... should I go with the 800# or 1000# model? I realize that the tongue weight is closer to the 800# model, but should I go a bit bigger to the 1000# just to be safe? One more thought... will the 800# version allow me to use fewer links in the chain and raise the bars a bit higher?
Sorry for all the questions. I sincerely appreciate the willingness of everyone to help in this forum. It's pretty amazing and I'm glad I subscribed!

Either will probably be OK, but 1000 is more certain to have clearance (below the swing hitch pins). As you have read elsewhere- the low point with a round bar WDH will typically be the soft "corner" where the bars turn from round to straight at 90 degrees. Even with my 1000 bars, the ends with the chains are a bit higher off the ground than the 90 degree bar "corners".
