The Replacement Head for Reese Weight Distribution System # RP58167 is the correct replacement head for all of the Reese systems that use trunnion bars. To further verify that this will fit with your existing bars, I went out to the warehouse and pulled a compatible Replacement Trunnion Spring Bar # RP22225 so I could take a couple measurements.
The pin at the end of the bar is 1 inch in diameter and the space from end to end is right at 4-1/4 inches, matching the measurements you took on your existing bar.
With this in mind, the above mentioned head will work perfectly on your system. The mounting hardware and serrated washers are also included. I have attached a short video demonstration on this product along with the installation details that you can check out.
