The Reese and Draw-Tite brands are both sister companies that are part of the Cequent Performance Products Group based in Michigan. It is indeed possible that a particular set of Reese weight distribution spring bars may be compatible with a particular Draw-Tite branded head assembly. In order to confirm this with the technical team at Cequent I will need to know the actual part numbers involved.
Naturally, the type of spring bars must be the same; if your head unit is for trunnion-style bars like that included in Reese's Strait-Line Weight Distribution System # RP66083 then you have to use that type of replacement spring bar.
If you can provide me with the specific part numbers I will be happy to check with the technical staff at Cequent to confirm compatibility or get you the correct spring bar part number for your head unit.
