I was able to locate your order information and found that you have the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System # BXW1003. This system has a tongue weight capacity range of 750 to 1,000 pounds. If the total tongue weight of your setup is the 847 pounds that you mentioned, this system will still work perfectly.

Just keep in mind that the total tongue weight includes both the loaded tongue weight of your trailer, along with any added cargo weight coming from behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle. You can also verify the loaded tongue weight of your trailer with a scale like the etrailer # e99044.
