Can I Swap Spring Bars on a Blue Ox Sway Pro System For Different Sized Trailers

Question

Question:

I have a 2018 Ram 2500 w/ 2.5inch receiver hitch, I will be towing a 18foot enclosed trailer with a gross weight of 7000lb and also a 28foot tiny home that may top out around 15000lb gross. Can I use the BXW2000 Weight Distribution hitch and swap out the bars for Blue Ox part BXW4006 when I want to tow the enclosed trailer? Will the BXW4006 bars work with the BXW2000 assembly??

Yes. You can use the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control - Clamp On - 20,000 lbs GTW, 2,000 lbs TW # BXW2000 with the smaller Replacement Spring Bars for Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System - 750 lbs TW # BXW4006. The spring bars on these systems can be swapped out as needed to allow you to have the proper bar size on the weight distribution system.
