What you are looking for is the Replacement Round Spring Bar for Reese Pro Weight Distribution System - 600 lbs TW # RP65KR. This is a direct replacement for the Reese 49911 (our part# RE34FR) you have.

Out of curiosity, what happened to your bar?

Has this been discontinued? I don't see it on your website anymore.

@Jonathon It wasn't necessarily discontinued, but it is going to be difficult to get ahold of. Reese's parent company (First Brands) is having some... "issues" as of late and their part are extremely scarce at the moment. Look them up online and you will see what I mean. Due to this, we have removed all their parts from our site, unfortunately. That said, what you are looking for is their part number 131514 Replacement Round Spring Bar. I did a cursory search of that part and it looked like there were still a few out there online. I do recommend calling any place that says they have them to verify they actually do though. Just to make sure. Sorry I don't have a better answer for you.
