I may have an option for you, but there is not a 1000lb spring bar like yours made. All of the 1000lb ones were discontinued back in 2019.

The only replacement spring bar still available that will fit your weight distirbution hitch head is the Reese # RP58114 which works with tongue weights between 400-800lbs so it will be a bit lighter than your current spring bars.

I recommend measuring your tongue weight using either the etrailer tongue weight scale # e99044, or one of the methods outlined in the included help article. If your tongue weight is under 800lbs with the trailer fully loaded then ordering two of there spring bars would be the most cost effective option.

If your tongue weight exceeds 800lbs then you will need to replace the entire system. I recommend the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Trunnion - 10,000 lbs GTW, 1,000 lbs TW # FA92-00-1000 which works with tongue weights between 600-1000lbs, and has built in two point sway control. This hitch still has replacement parts availabe should they be needed in the future.

If your current hitch uses a hitch ball with a 1-1/4" shank it can be reused in the # FA92-00-1000, or if not you will need the 2" hitch ball # A-90 or 2-5/16" hitch ball # 19286 to match the coupler on your trailer.

I included a video of the # FA92-00-1000 for you to take a look at.
