Well, i found a hitch locally and asked the guy what the ratings were and he told me 10,000lb and 800 tongue weight, which is almost exactly what i need. My trailer is a 26' enclosed which weighs 3000 dry according to the sticker, my cars that i'll be trailering are anywhere from 3000-3800lb.
Stupid me didnt look at the hitch when i picked it up, i took his word for it and he had the hitch upside down with the sticker down so i didnt think about checking it. It turns out it's actually a 12,000lb and 1000-1200lb tongue weight.
Tried the hitch today, and it wont go low enough for me to even use the weight distributing. On the lowest setting, the trailer is sitting 1/2" higher in the front then in the back of the trailer but the truck sagged down quite a bit (mind you, it still trailers it fine but i bought this to level it out and fix the swaying).
My question is, will this hitch still be ok? I know your suppost to be as close to the weight/tongue weight of what your pulling but will this be fine? My next question is, can you buy hitches that have a couple more notches lower? To my knowledge ive never seen them.. but havent really searched too hard yet either as i didnt think i needed one.
