That looks like a very nice hitch, particularly for the TM owners who have clearance problems for front slides or swing hitches. "1000# bars" for Sway Pro could be stiffer than those of other companies, but I can't see why you wouldn't be bending bars more as you take in additional links on the chain.
In my case the bars calculate to 645# total on the bar chains, half on each side, for my trailer's 506# tongue weight. And yes, they do visibly bend as they are attached.
