Helpful Expert Reply:

The 600 pound spring bars would be rated too low for 630 pounds of tongue weight and the system would be ineffective. The 800 pound bars are the way to go. Try to lower the trailer end of the spring bars by one chain link for less tension and that should help with the stiff ride.
