I would go with 1400lb bars.
As far as the receiver goes, I have a 2.5 in receiver, but went with 2 in shank and had sleeve welded in to keep it from flopping around. I debated and decided to stay with the 2 inch shank. Glad I did. Truck broke down, and had to have truck and trailer towed. Tow truck showed up and he needed to use my hitch.. and his receiver was 2 inch. Not sure what I would have done if I had a 2.5 inch shank.

You really can't tell from the brochure numbers...have to actually load up and weigh.
But, for the numbers you posted, I'd definitely go with the 1400 lb. bars.
If you have a 2.5 inch receiver, I'd go with the 2.5 inch shank and skip the band-aide sleeve.
