Hey Greg, thanks for providing all that info it really makes everything much easier! So I did a little digging around, and it does look like yes the Replacement Chain Hangers for Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution System # RP24KR will work great. The head used # PS58442 is the same head for both systems.
How did you like the old system? I've heard good things but I haven't personally used one yet. In any case, if there is anything else I can help you with, feel free to drop a comment and let me know!

Hi Bryce. It appears from the photo on the website, and the video, that these bars do not have any holes at the end used to attach the chain links. My setup is similar to that show in "Reese Weight Distribution System w/ Shank - Trunion Bar - 12,000 lbs GTW, 1,200 lbs TW, Part Number: RP66542". But my bars are straight, and not kinked as seen in the above-noted system (not counting the 90-deg elbow). Perhaps REESE has changed things up? Greg B P.S. I would have added photos but didn't see how.
