Replacement Spring Bars For A Curt Weight Distribution Hitch

Question

Question:

I am interested in buying two Curt Mfg weight distribution bars as replacements.. 10,000 lbs gross trailer weight and 1,000 max tongue weight rating, 32 inches in length. Can you supply? Or are they only available with buying the entire assembly like I see on the website.

Hey Rodney,

If you have the Curt Trunnion Style Weight Distribution System # 17302 then the Replacement Trunnion Bar for Curt Long Trunnion Style Weight Distribution System # C17303 would be the correct replacement. If you have a different system I would need to know what model it is in order to find the correct replacement spring bars.
