Question:
I currently have the BLU36FR on my travel trailer, but am looking to get a larger trailer and Im wondering what I need to do to upgrade the hitch. The new trailer will have a GVWR of 7735 lb. and a listed hitch weight of 735 lb. Can I replace the bars on the BLU36FR hitch with a stronger version? Like BLU52FR or BLU25FR? Or do I need a whole new hitch assembly? Thanks!

Expert Reply:
Your current Blue Ox TrackPro part # BLU36FR as it sits does not have the correct rating for the larger trailer you are going to but there is a pretty easy solution. You can just swap the spring bars out with the part # BLU52FR and you'd have a higher rated system that would work great. This will give you a tongue weight rating of between 800 and 1,000 lbs which would be perfect for your trailer.
