I don't really need a lot of extra support but 1000lbs would help.
That's because you are plopping 500 pounds behind the rear axle and so, just like a seesaw, you have balanced some of the weight that was on the front and it rises, and the rear axle sees both that 500 pounds and a hundred off the front.

Think "levers".
