Question:
I have Curt model17500 hitch that I’m currently using and I am purchasing a new travel trailer that has a TW of 1250lbs and a UW of 10,044 and a GVWR of 11,300 . My question is can I just update the bars to the heavier style like on the Curt 17501 and will everything else transfer over .

Hey James, you can do that almost. The heads on the two systems are different as well, so you'd have to swap the head on your # C17500 with the Replacement Head for Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control # C17509.
From here, you can swap the bars out with the upgraded Replacement Trunnion Spring Bar for Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System # C17537.
If I can help you with anything else, please feel free to drop a comment and let me know!
