Availability of 1,200 Pound Weight Distribution Spring Bars to Replace 800 Pound Spring Bars
Updated 07/08/2010 | Published 07/06/2010
Question:
Will these bars fit if I increase from 800 to 1200lb. bars? My current hitch is an 800/10000lb. Reese trunion/dual cam set-up.

Expert Reply:
If your current weight distribution system is less than 3 years old, then you will be able to use the Replacement Trunnion Spring Bar, # RP66009. If it is the old style system, the bars will not fit in the head. The head you would need is # RP58167. This is the new style head that is compatible with the 1,200 pound bars.
If you needed to replace the head and the bars, you may as well replace the whole system as the cost is about the same. You would need High Performance Trunnion Weight Distribution System, # RP66022. I have included a link to the installation details for this system below.
