I am a little surprised with the 8000 lb weight with the equalizer. My factory hitch on my 2005 GMC is rated at only 5000 lbs, but 11000 lbs with an equalizing hitch, which I have. The 11000 lbs is far more than the truck itself will pull. The 8000 lbs you have is adequate for an H, but with 5000 lb trailer axles the trailer weight combined with the tractor weight is going to be more than your half ton (I believe that's what you said you had earlier) "likes".

Without knowing the exact weights of your H and the trailer, I believe you are already over the 6000 lb mark. My Super H and 7000 lb GVW trailer weigh about 6400 lbs combined and my trailer is lighter than yours.
