Paul, I think you will be fine with your hitch and a weight distributing system. Make sure that your ball and the ball mount are both as heavy as you can get. Trailer hitches if properly made are an over-engineered kind of thing. They might have 5k stamped on them, but that is a pessimistic figure. They will really stand up to a whole lot more. For example one time I had myself in a real tight spot and had to pull a 6000+lb travel trailer with a full size Chevy Blazer that had a rusted up old class three hitch on it. That hitch held up like a trooper not only for that job but several other heavy jobs as the years passed. I think the set up you have with minor tweaks will work just fine.
