Video Transcript for Replacement Spring Bars for Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System Feature Review

Hi there. I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a quick look at these Blue Ox replacement spring bars for your SwayPro weight distribution system. Now this kit is going to include the two spring bars, lift chains, and necessary hardware needed to replace your SwayPro spring bars. Now, one of the really nice things about the SwayPro system is that you can simply switch out your spring bars. So if you get a lighter trailer or a heavier trailer, make sure that your ride is gonna be nice and smooth.

You can simply switch out the spring bars so that it's got the right weight capacity for you, rather than having to get a whole new system. So we do have lots of different spring bar sets that will range from a tongue weight of 200 pounds, up to a tongue weight of 2,000 pounds. So you just need to make sure that you're getting the right set for your setups. Tongue weight of the bars do all look very similar. They are going to have slight thickness differences, but the easiest way to tell which bar set you have, they use a dot system.

So the 350 pound bars are not gonna have a dot. Your 550 pound max tongue weight is gonna have one dot like we have here. So these are our 550 pound max tongue weight. But then on that list there, you can see those dots on the right side. So it goes up to five dots for your 2,000 pound tongue weight rating.

So just make sure you're getting the right one for your setup so that it's not gonna be too rigid, and it's going to engage properly for you. All these sets are going to work with both your older locking pin style pivot tubes. So they've got the divot there on the top. So your locking pin will grab onto that to secure these into your head unit, and they are also going to work with your newer style through pin style locking tube so that you can get that pin passed all the way through there to secure that. So whether you have the older style or the newer, this will work great for you.

These are made here in the USA so you can trust they're made to the high quality standards we've come to know and trust for products that are made here in the US. But more than that, because they are a Blue Ox product you can trust the are gonna fit right into your SwayPro system, and you're not gonna have any issues with it. It's just going to accommodate for either replacing spring bars that you already have, or adjusting your setup for that different tongue weight. So that completes our look for today. Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching..

Love Blue Ox weight distribution hitches! The fact that you can order different spring bar capacities without changing the hitch is awesome. Not to mention the hitch itself is the best of all my hitches owned. Quiet and steady as a rock!

There were a couple of places I could've bought these replacement bars for my Blueox WDH from but I chose etrailer. They are always precise and have the most information on products.



by:

I had originally purchased my Blue Ox Sway Pro and Weight Distribution hitch for a smaller travel trailer that we had purchased. when we up graded to a larger trailer I had no need to purchase another hitch, all i had to do was up grade to the heavier sway bars.
The purchase was quick, easy, and I received the bars in the mail quickly.
I am very please with the Blue Ox Sway Pro as it is a quick and simple product to install and use. Hitching and unhitching is a breeze. I am also pleased with with the service I received from etrailer.com.

Recently purchased a new TT and needed to upgrade the spring bars on my Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System for the added tongue weight. New spring bars arrived on time and packaged well. I haven't had a chance to use them yet, but have no doubt that they will perform as advertised.

We are glad we upgraded two levels heavier than the literature suggested. The original spring bars are entirely too light and allow too much sway in slight cross winds. I totally agree with other reviewers that state to go with heavier bars than the recommended rating.

37' camper and it pulls wonderful with these bars forcing it to stay stay in line! The blue ox system is the best! Many years of pulling large trailers and these are simple to use...backing and turning is a breeze!

Brand new weight distribution bars came fast at a great price! I needed 4-dot bars but the trailer came with 3-dot. Using etrailer was an elect choice.

As advertised. Arrived on time as always. Thank you!

Have been using for a Blue Ox sway weight distribution system for several years and new trailer had heavy tongue weight. And these new bars have been working perfectly for several months. Recommend this system to all.



by:

the product is 5 stars and so is E-Trailers service thank you.



by:

Didn’t receive the part number that I ordered. I was shipped a lesser capacity part than I had ordered. I am confident that the product quality will be fine once I receive the product that I ordered. For now, I have to deal with the hassles of a time consuming product return process. Customer service appears to be supportive towards correcting the problem.



by:

Blue ox should be removed from the market. What a useless and expensive device. I put on the equalizer after having horrible sway problems with blue ox. And it is almost half price. I can't notice any sway with the equalizer. Blue ox was white knuckle driving, especially when semis passed me. If you have a RV trailer, DO NOT BUY BLUE OX!!!



by:

Had great experience with the Blue Ox hitch set but discovered our hitch weight was more than the 1000# bars we had been using so these heavier bars do the trick!



by:

Purchased a new travel trailer and needed heavier spring bars for my blue ox hitch. They were shipped same day and received two days later.
I have ordered several items in the past few years from e trailer. Staff is very knowledgeable and willing to help. Extremely satisfied with them.



by:

This product is for an upgrade to my Blue Ox weight distribution system. It is exactly as expected. The package shipped in the manufacturer’s original packing, on time, and in perfect condition. The price for the item and cost of shipping was good. I plan on purchasing from Etrailer.com in the future.



by:

Jena D, thanks for the fast, courteous order, help and shipping. Product works great. Tongue weight was over my 1000lbs bars and needed the 1500lbs bars before trip. Bars arrived two days before I was leaving. Blue Ox SwayPro Bar System exceeded my expectations and the ride and handling is very smooth now.



by:

I just received my Blue Ox Sway Pro 1,500 lb. replacement bars via UPS. This is my first order with etrailer and I am very pleased. Free shipping and great price! I will be doing business with them again.

The replacement bars were an exact match for my Blue Ox towing hitch. Fast service and friendly/helpful service.

Blue Ox is a great product! Fantastic sway bars that does a great job controlling my 35ft RV from swaying. Ordered over the phone. Staff very helpful! Received product in 2 days!

  • Can You Change From 1,000 lb. to 1,500 lb. Spring Bars On a Blue Ox SwayPro WD System
    It sounds like you have everything figured out now, and upgrading your spring bars definitely sounds like the way to go since your current bars are underrated. The good news, is that you can just upgrade the spring bars on your Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control # BXW1006 to the 1,500 lb. bars. - Replacement Spring Bars for Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System # BXW4008 These spring bars have a tongue weight rating of 1,000 lbs to 1,500 lbs., so they are well...

  • Recommended Spring Bar Replacements For My Blue OX Sway Pro
    When it comes to replacing your spring bars you need to first know what the tongue weight rating is for your current system. The bars will have dimples on them which will tell you what your tongue rating is. Any of the following bars will work for you depending on your tongue weight. No dimples = 200 pounds to 350 pounds # BXW4015 1 dimple = 350 pounds to 550 pounds # BXW4005 2 dimples = 550 pounds to 750 pounds # BXW4006 3 dimples = 750 pounds to 1,000 pounds # BXW4007 4 dimples = 1,000...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution And Adjustable Shank For 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
    From my research I found the Timber Ridge 250 RDS has a dry weight of 6,700 lbs and a maximum weight of 8,500 lbs. I also found the Airstream has a maximuim weight of 3,500 lbs. For a weight distribution system you will want to know the tongue weight. The tongue weight is typically about 10 to 15 percent of the gross towing weight which would mean for the Airstream it would be between 350 and 525 lbs, and for the 250 RDS the tongue weight would be between 850 and 1275 lbs. This weight...

  • Which Blue Ox Spring Bars For Tongue Weight Right Under 1,500 lbs
    If you are under 1,500 lbs of tongue weight you'll be best served going with the lighter rated # BXW4008. Being on the high end of a tongue weight range is much better than being too low for a system's tongue weight range as that would give you a very harsh ride quality.

  • Class IV Weight Distribution Hitch With Sway for 2019 Venture SportTrek 38 Travel Trailer
    First you will want to confirm what your tongue weight is that you will be towing with. You can do this with a tongue weight scale like the etrailer scale # e99044. This will ensure that you have a weight and sway distribution hitch that is correct for your 2019 Venture SportTrek travel trailer. This device will plug into the OBD II port on your 2017 Ford F-250 and will tell you the tongue weight of your camper as well as help you setup the new weight and sway hitch. For tongue weights...

  • Replacing Blue OX SwayPro Spring Bars for 1000lbs Tongue Weight
    I would recommend using the Replacement Spring Bars for Blue Ox SwayPro # BXW4008 1,000-1,500 tongue weight bars. If you're already seeing close to 1000lbs of tongue weight as it is, I would only imagine when traveling that number will start to increase. If you don't have the SwayPro system let me know what you do have and I will make a recommendation based on your hitch.

  • Can Blue Ox SwayPro Rated For 2,000 lb Tongue Weight be Used on Multiple Smaller Trailers
    Technically, as long as the system will fit the trailers (have a frame height between 3" and 6"), even if they are much lighter you can use the SwayPro system you asked about with a 2,000 lb tongue weight rating: - Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control - Clamp On - Underslung - 20K GTW, 2K TW # BXW2003 The issue though, is that with a system rated so much higher than needed, the ride will be very stiff and rigid, and the trailer will bounce a lot to the point that it would...

  • Spring Bar Recommendation for Blue Ox Weight Distribution System with Over 1,000 lbs Tongue Weight
    The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow. This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached a help article on determining tongue weight for you to check out as well. You will want the loaded tongue weight of your setup to fall right in the middle of the tongue weight range of the system you use. Since you will be over 1,000 lbs...

  • Can Regular Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution be Used on Trailer with Underslung Coupler
    If you now have a trailer that has an underslung coupler then yes, you will need to use the SwayPro for an underslung coupler instead of the current part # BXW1000 that you are using. To make your current system compatible with an underslung system all you have to do is swap out the head to the underslung option using part # BXW4012. This is because the pitch that those bars connect to the head unit changes to accommodate the lower coupler. I confirmed this with my contact at Blue Ox. When...

    Based on the information you have given me it sounds like you have the Replacement Spring Bars for Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System - 1,000 lbs TW # BXW4007 on your current system which are rated for 750-1,000 lbs of tongue weight. This would mean that your current setup is potentially overrated.

  • Is Using the Blue Ox SwayPro BXW2000 On the 7th or 8th Link Accecptable
    I spoke with Blue Ox and they stated that if the 7th link is the one that works best for you on the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System part # BXW2000 then that is completely fine and you can use this without issue. That said, if the 7th link puts the spring bars too close to the ground then that is when you would switch to the 1,500 lb spring bars, part # BXW4008. I would not be able to trade these out for the 2,000 lb spring bars you have now unfortunately.

  • Does the 750 lb Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System Come with Spring Bars for Other Weights
    The Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution part # BXW0756 is designed for a trailer with a tongue weight between 550 lbs - 750 lbs. If you have a different tongue weight outside of this range, you'd need to purchase new spring bars for that weight which is the case for almost all weight distribution systems, they don't come with. I have attached these for you below. 2,000 lbs part # BXW4014 1,500 lbs part # BXW4008 1,000 lbs part # BXW4007 750 lbs part # BXW4006 (comes with above) 550 lbs...

    The Replacement Spring Bars for Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System part # BXW4008 are best suited for a towing setup with a total tongue weight (TTW) between 1,000 and 1,500 lbs. The TTW is calculated by adding the loaded ready to tow tongue weight of the trailer by an weight stored behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle.

    Yes, having the 1,000-1,500LB Spring Bars # BXW4008 will be good to use if your tongue weight does exceed the 1,000lbs the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution # BXW1000 you currently have are rated for. You will likely want to carry a etrailer Tongue Weight Scale # e99044 so you know which bars to use when you connect to your trailer depending on how the load is placed.

    There's a surprisingly easy way you can determine exactly what spring bars you have and therefore exactly what their tongue weight rating is.

No Dimples = 200 lbs to 350 lbs Tongue Weight Capacity: Spring Bars for Blue Ox SwayPro # BXW4015 1 Dimple = 350 lbs to 550 lbs Tongue Weight Capacity: Spring Bars # BXW4005 2 Dimples = 550...

It sounds like a couple of things may be the issue. You may need to go to the 9th link and use the spring bars to support more weight.

  • Lower Rated Spring Bar Recommendation for Blue Ox Weight Distribution System
    If your loaded tongue weight is 1,500 lbs you are at the very bottom of the tongue weight range for the Blue Ox weight distribution system part # BXW2000 which has a range of 1,500 to 2,000 lbs. This will give you a harsh ride quality like you have. The best option would be to go with a lower rated bar. The Sway Pro systems from the highest to the lowest rated all use the same weight distribution head. To change the weight rating of the system, you'd simply swap out the spring bars. So...

It doesn't make much of a difference which tongue weight scale is used to measure tongue weight when determining the correct weight distribution system as long as you are on level ground (the truck and the trailer) and the trailer is loaded.

    The Replacement Spring Bars for Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System # BXW4008 (1,500 lbs.) work for tongue weights between 1,000-1,500 lbs. so if your tongue weight is at that 1,000 lb. mark you will be ok. It may ride stiffer due to the lower weight, but it would be ok. That being said, we do have the Replacement Spring Bars for Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System # BXW4007 (1,000 lbs.) available for your system which work for tongue weights between 750-1,000 lbs.

This will be a simple swap and they will work with the existing head on your Blue Ox System.
