Replacement Spring Bar Recommendation for Reese Strait Line System Towing 6,000 lb Trailer
Published 11/02/2016
Question:
I had a 34 ft trailer which weighed about 9000lb. I traded for a 25 ft trailer which weighs about 6000lb. The reese duel cam hitch, I have I believe are 2000lb bars. Do I have to get lighter bars or are these fine for the lighter trailer?

Expert Reply:
You would need to go with lower rated spring bars on your Reese Strait Line WD system since you are going to a much lighter trailer. If you have too high rated bars you will have a very rough ride quality.
Since your total trailer weight is 6,000 lbs you would have a tongue weight between 600 and 900 lbs. For spring bars in that range you would want the part # RP66009 which have a tongue weight range of 600-1,200 lbs.
