That 2500HD will have no trouble with the tounge weight.
The hitch is fine. Though uphrading to the XDR is certainly not a bad idea.
I have had 21,000 on the stock hitch on the 3500. Yes, believe it or not...21,000lbs.
Me.. I wouldn't waste time with the wd bars and adaptors, and chains....
The balanced boat won't have much tongue weight.
Send me an email or call me any time.

Fyi, I Was In Contact With Equalizer Hitches And They Do Not Reccomend Their System With Certain Brake Actuators For Surge Brakes. I Also Called The Actuator Company And They State That They Need Over 4 Inches Of Surge To Be Effective And More Like 6. They Were Pretty Strongly Against Using The W/d Application. I Believe Mine Was The Dico Model 20 Acuator Which Is One Of The More Common Ones Out There.
