Replacement Head for Weight Distribution System
Updated 05/11/2020 | Published 08/30/2017 >
Question:
thanks for the response, so, does that mean any round spring bar style hitch head will work for me? I want to replace the hitch head because on of the bars keeps falling and the holes appear to be worn and oval rather than round. Here are some pictures of the hitch, the bars are approximately 1-3/8" diameter.

There are many replacement heads available. I've attached a couple links to assist you with the options we currently have available. One is for square bars, one for round bars, and one for trunnion bars.
If you can't narrow it down based on look, send me a picture with as many markings as you can and I'll see what I can do to help. There aren't bushings on most weight distribution systems, so I need more clarity to help.

Can you tell me if this head will work with the E2 weight distribution system, 10K capacity? I am attaching to a 2" hitch and have a 2 5/16" main ball.
