Question:
I current have Reese dual cam 1 and will have a new trailer in spring. Can I just buy brackets to place on new trailer to convert to dual cam 2? Also... tw of 900 lbs.. 6500 lb trailer.. Will the 800 lb spring bars be sufficient?

Hey Randall,
The brackets could just be swapped out but unfortunately aren't being sold separately at the moment. You could try reaching out to Reese directly to see if they could sell you just the brackets, otherwise you'd have to purchase the entire hitch. With your tongue weight being that high you would need to size up to the next weight class of spring bars like the # RP66009. This spring bar is rated for 700lbs - 1,200lbs so it would it's slightly more than you need, but wouldn't be overloaded. For the whole WDH you would need part # RP75FR.
