Curt Weight Distribution Trunnion Bar Compatibility with Head Assembly C17307  

Updated 03/20/2017 | Published 03/17/2017

Question:

Is this Reese Pro Series spring bar compatible with the Curt 17307 hitch head?

0

Expert Reply:

Weight distribution/sway control (WD/SC) spring bars can often be changed out for new bars with a different weight capacity but it is never a good idea to mix components from different systems or manufacturers as they aren't designed to be compatible at all.

With the Curt trunnion style head assembly # C17307 you could use a spring bar like # C17308 for trailer tongue weight (TW) up to 800-lbs.

Please feel free to let me know your trailer TW.
