Helpful Expert Reply:

I would be happy to recommend a replacement for your Pro Series Weight Distribution Hitch. You are correct, those replacement bars are no longer available since this hitch was discontinued by Reese. Spring bars from other systems are also not compatible with this WDH meaning the only option is total replacement.

Sticking with Reese, I recommend the Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control - Trunnion - 12K GTW, 1.2K TW # RP66560. This has a tongue weight range of 600-1,200 lbs which will work well with your 925 lb tongue weight. This uses brackets for installation and has integrated sway control with the brackets. The head also provides frictional resistance to limit movement of the spring bars. You will also need # A-90 for a 2" ball or # 19286 for a 2-5/16" ball.

I have attached some review videos for your reference.

Yes, the Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control - Trunnion - 10,000 lbs GTW, 1,000 lbs TW # C17500 will also work. This has a tongue weight range of 800-1,000 lbs. As long as your tongue weight is not outside of this range it will be effective so at 925 lbs it will be just right.
