Question:
On a Fastway e2 weight distribution hitch. Can i just change the bars and use it for a different weight trailer. Go from a 10000gvw bar to a 8000gvw bar and use the same hitch head ?

Hey Ralph, welcome back! Yes, you can sway out your spring bars so the Fastway e2 system is properly rated for a different trailer. Assuming you want to make it the 8k GTW system, you need the # FA94-02-0899 if you have the round bars and # FA92-02-0899 for the trunnion.
What trailer are you towing?

You sure can, that is exactly what I did. You’ll need to readjust the hitch head angle for the lighter bars per the instructions provided with the hitch or on lime videos.

Yes, I swapped-out the 6,000lb bars for 8,000lb when I bought a bigger trailer.

Would it hurt to leave the larger bar on it even with the smaller gvw trailer. I guess the ride would be different along with anything else? Thanks
