Everything part of a weight distribution system like the Replacement Weight Distribution Bolt-Together Round Bar Head # PS58442 is going to be brand specific and non-interchangeable, with the exception of the shank.

So, for your Haulmaster WDS, you're going to need to stick with Haulmaster when it comes to replacement parts, or you can upgrade your entire system.

If you're interested in a completely new WDS, I recommend taking a look at the Strait-Line Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control # RP66074.

Similarly to your Haulmaster this WDS is rated for a gross towing weight capacity of 12K, and has a maximum tongue weight range 600-1,200lbs.

This WDS does not include the shank, however since WDS shanks are universal, you can reuse your original shank for your Haulmaster.
