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.

Blue Ox is letting me test the new bars and I can return them if they do not change anything. But they are pretty sure that for the WDH to work, the bars need to bend. I cannot get them to bend (not strong enough). I am holding off getting them until the weather is better. They are fine with that.
