Video Transcript for Review of Blue Ox Replacement 1000 lbs TW SwayPro Spring Bars - BXW4007
Hi there. I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a quick look at these Blue Ox replacement spring bars for your SwayPro weight distribution system. Now, this kit is going to include the two spring bars, lift chains, and necessary hardware needed to replace your SwayPro spring bars. Now, one of the really nice things about the SwayPro system is that you can simply switch out your spring bars. So, if you get a lighter trailer or a heavier trailer, makes sure that your ride is gonna be nice and smooth.
You can simply switch out the spring bars so that it's got the right weight capacity for you, rather than having to get a whole new system. So, we do have lots of different spring bar sets that will range from a tongue weight of 200 pounds up to a tongue weight of 2000 pounds. So, you just need to make sure that you're getting the right set for your setup's tongue weight. The bars do all look very similar. They are going to have slight thickness differences, but the easiest way to tell which bar set you have, they use a dot system.
So, the 350 pound bars are not gonna have a dot. Your 550 pound max tongue weight is gonna have one dot, like we have here. So, these are our 550 pound max tongue weight. But then on that list there, you can see those dots on the right side. So, it goes up to five dots for your 2000 pound tongue weight rating.
So, just make sure you're getting the right one for your setup so that it's not gonna be too rigid and it's going to engage properly for you. All these sets are going to work with both your older locking-pin style pivot tubes. So, they've got the divot there on the top, so your locking pin will grab onto that to secure these into your head unit. And they are also going to work with your newer style through-pin style locking tube so that you can get that pin passed all the way through there to secure that. So whether you have the older style or the newer, this will work great for you.
These are made here in the USA, so you can trust they're made to the high quality standards we've come to know and trust for products that are made here in the US, but more than that, because they are a Blue Ox product, you can trust they are gonna fit right into your SwayPro system, and you're not gonna have any issues with it. It's just going to accommodate for either replacing the spring bars that you already have or adjusting your setup for that different tongue weight. So, that completes our look for today, again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching..

Professional advice and service. They helped me upgrade my Blue Ox hitch to a larger capacity for a heavier camper.

Heavier bars for a heavier trailer. Just right. Customer service with etrailer is wonderful!

We purchased a bigger trailer and needed the more heavy-duty bars for our Blue Ox. Our order was promptly received and has worked well. We are happy with this purchase.

For the F-150, Ford recommends load distribution bars for all trailer towing 5000 lbs and over. I purchased the Blue Ox Weight distribution System as was recommended by etrailer. I ordered two sets of bars, a1000# set for loads under 5000#s and a 1500# set for when my trailer is loaded to the max which is 12,000#. I am now able to dial in the exact combination needed to keep my truck level and tracking true no mater how my trailer is loaded. I can now easily tow light and heavy loads at 65MPH with out the fear of excessive sway. Thank you etrailer for solving my trailer sway problems.
by: Doug08/02/2018
Blue Ox is the BEST weight distribution and anti-sway system on earth. Much easier and smoother than others. Bought a heavier trailer and got heavier bars. Plug and play. Highly recommend also buying a tongue scale as all my buddies use mine now and everyone has been surprised how much heavier their tongue weight is compared to what they thought.

Still awesome! No issues and my buddies who saved money on cheaper systems are figuring out they should have bought the Blue Ox. No problem reversing, change bars for different trailer weights, easier daily use, and better sway control. Very happy with this purchase.

E-Trailer was very quick to deliver the new 1000 lb spring bars and they were exactly as advertised. I have used them several times and my trailer sway has been reduced to a manageable level.

The spring bars work wonderfully and i really appreciate how easy E-Trailer made it for me to get exactly what i needed for a safer trip
by: Don08/22/2022
I have been using the original Blue Ox Sway Pro since 2011. It was a different design that used heavy round spring bars. Over time they bent so I wanted to replace them. Turned out that the modern (flat) spring bars will not quite fit into the old head, so I decided to buy the newer head. I was told by trailer that the part that is connected to the trailer A frame (the latch) would accept the chains on these new spring bars. Not so. The new bars angle down at a much steeper angle and made it impossible to use my old latches. So I had to buy them with a separate order. After all was said and done, I am happy with the new modern hitch...but I would add that it's really no better than the original.

Love the Blue Ox Sway Pro system! I only need to replace the spring bars for my new, heavier trailer.

Order arrived as promised and will be put to work next week. Thank you for doing what you said, doesn't always worout that way.
by: V. nolan01/31/2018
The sway bars arrived well packaged with no damage. I was able to use and test the bars when I picked up my new trailer and towed approximately 350 miles back home. The bars performed as Blue Ox advertised. etrailer has always been attentive to you and the product purchased. The staff is professional and knowledgeable. I have purchased other products from etrailer with the same excellent service.
I am a repeat customer.

Received my 1000 lbs replacement Blue Ox spring bars in a reasonable amount of time. The bars did the trick for the larger travel trailer I recently purchased. I'm pleased with the quality of service and product.
by: Jose 08/11/2021
We had 750lb bars but our tongue weight exceeded that weight so I bought the 1000lb bars and now they transferred the weight needed to the steering axles and the truck performs much better.

I just received the order for the 1000 lbs Blue Ox bars. I'm currently running 750 lbs bars, but have weighed my camper and it's over. I received them quickly and no crushed boxes.
Probably a couple of weeks before I get to try them out.

by: Harry F03/23/2015
Not much can be said about a couple of spring bars. i needed heavier bars because I changed to a trailer with a heavier tongue weight. The eTrailer price was excellent with fast and free shipping. Very happy with their web site and service.
by: Ivy08/21/2022
Great system. Huge difference in towing. etrailer delivered earlier then promised. Appreciate the great price and customer service.
by: Michael02/23/2022
After doing some research I discovered that my weight bars were potentially too heavy(heaver is not always better) so I ordered these lower weight bars to be more in the proper weight range. I'm hoping this will improve my control even more.
also,very efficient,fast shipping and communication!!!
Thank You

Genuine Blue Ox replacement parts. Everything exactly as expected with prompt delivery. Thank you!
by: Daniel06/30/2018
The first set of bars had quality issues. There must have been contamination on the metal prior to applying the protective coating. Someone needs to do final inspection. The replacement ones work as advertised. First time setup took a little while but each hookup there after should be a breeze. What a difference pulling 6,000 lbs with the Sway-Pro.
by: Dave07/25/2019
God availability and fast free delivery.
Accurate replacement parts.
Very satisfied. Taylor, the CSRep, was extremely knowledgeable and helpful.

Old bars were found to be too light , etrailer had these, and got them to me fast .. and cheaper than the competetor.

- Clamp-On Weight Distribution System Needed for a Variety of Trailer SizesWe do have a weight distribution (WD) system that will fit your various trailer size needs, but if your current trailer hitch/ball mount is already hitting the ground during some of the driveways you have to turn in to I'm not sure if adding a WD system to the mix is a good idea. The shank and head unit will hit the ground and if your driveways are steep enough I doubt the bars are meant to flex that much. If you still need the WD system then the Blue Ox SwayPro systems have clamp-on brackets...
view full answer... - How to Determine Capacity of a Blue Ox Weight Distribution System?I will be happy to help you. The Blue Ox weight distribution systems like the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control item # BXW1500 all use the same head. The bars are the component that determines the capacity of the system. The Blue Ox has a dimple system on their spring bars. It is near the base of the bar where it goes into the head. I have linked a picture to show you where to look. No dimples means it is rated for up to 350 lbs total tongue weight. One dimple means...

- Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution Arms for 850 lb Tongue WeightI'm glad you trust us, and we can definitely help you out so you can enjoy your voyage instead of being understandably anxious about the sway. While there is always going to be at least a bit of sway, it should not be to the degree you were describing, and the reason you are experiencing that is because the spring bars for your Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution Hitch # BXW0750 are not rated high enough. That system is designed for total tongue weights (TTW) between 550 lbs and 750 lbs,...

- Can the Blue Ox SwayPro 15K System Be Used on a 7K TrailerIt sounds like you may have the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System part # BXW1500 which is rated for a gross trailer weight of 15,000 lbs. If this is the case then you can use it to pull your trailer with a gross trailer weight of 7,000 lbs however, the system will not perform as well as one more accurately rated for the weight of the trailer. The spring bars will likely not have enough tension on them which is going to translate to less distribution and reduced sway control. Therefore,...
view full answer... - How To Choose Correct Weight Springs Bars for Blue Ox SwayPro Weight DistributionThe correct way to select the right Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution is based on the tongue weight of the loaded trailer plus any gear behind the rear axle in the tow vehicle. The two dot bars part # BXW4006 are rated for up to 750 lbs, the three dot bars part # BXW4007 are rated for up to 1,000 lbs and the four dot bars part # BXW4008 are rated up to 1,500 lbs. It's best to be just a bit under the weight capacity but so long as you are not exceeding this you'll be fine.

With your guess of 730-lbs to 800-lbs tongue weight, I recommend the Replacement Spring Bars for Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System, Item # BXW4007, which have a tongue weight range of 750-lbs to 1,000-lbs. If you add more weight to your trailer or more cargo behind your...
view full answer... - Will Heavier Spring Bars Decrease Trailer PorpoisingIf the trailer does not have enough weight on the tongue relative to the weight of the trailer (ideally between 10-15%) then you can experience issues with porpoising. A weight distribution system will generally fix most porpoising issues as it helps better distribute the load more evenly but if the springs bars are too weak they can flex more and give in to porpoising. The best solution would be to rearrange weight on the trailer but stiffer springs bars would also help to alleviate some...
view full answer... - Weight Distribution System Needed for 3,000 lb and 6,000 lb TrailersI can help you find a Weight Distribution (WD) system that works for you, but since it looks like you will have a pretty big range of weight capacities it is impossible to use the same WD system without changing out at least the arms. You will want to choose a WD system with a Tongue Weight (TW) range that the Total Tongue Weight (TTW) of your towing setup falls in the middle of. To find the TTW of your towing setup you will need to add the TW of your fully loaded and ready-to-go trailer...
view full answer... - Will Replacement Spring Bars for Blue Ox SwayPro # BXW4005 Fit Older Weight Distribution HitchI spoke to my contact at Blue Ox, he confirmed that the Replacement Spring Bars for Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System - 550 lbs TW # BXW4005 will be compatible with the old style head and will work with the style that had the locking pin. If you need heavier spring bars, we have the Replacement Spring Bars for Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System - 750 lbs TW # BXW4006, 1,000 lbs TW # BXW4007, 1,500 lbs TW # BXW4008 and 2,000 lbs TW # BXW4014.
view full answer... - Effect of Swapping Spring Bars on Blue Ox SwayPro Weight DistributionThat is correct, you can swap out the spring bars on the # BXW0350 for higher rated spring bars. The head and the shank have a rating high enough to handle any of the spring bars. Changing the bars will alter the tongue weight range of the system which is what you want to focus on when choosing a system/spring bars. The gross towing weight will be 10x the max tongue weight in the tongue weight range or you could view it as the max tongue weight is 10% of the gross towing weight. For example,...
view full answer... - Air Bags or Weight Distribution for Towing a Flagstaff Epro with a 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500When it comes to leveling out or supporting a trailer towing setup a weight distribution (WD) system is almost always the recommendation when compared to air bags. The reason being that air bags will help to level the towing setup, but a WD system distributes that tongue weight between all axles (both tow vehicle and trailer) which not only helps to level the towing setup, but it also improves handling. The only time that air bags would really be recommended over WD is if the pickup is...

The Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 is an excellent brake controller choice and will plug right into the connector plug under the driver's side dash of your F-150 with the adapter, part # 22292. Since you have a fully functioning 4-Way and 7-Way wiring harness, all you have to do is plug the 7-Way from your trailer into the 7-Way at the back of your F-150 and you will be all set electrical-wise.

This would mean that your current setup is potentially overrated. An overrated system can cause a rigid ride and a bouncy trailer, which may be partially or completely responsible for what you're experiencing. I say potentially overrated since it sounds...
view full answer... - Can Existing 750 lb Capacity Spring Bars on Blue Ox SwayPro Be Swapped for 1000 lb Capacity Bars?Assuming you currently have a Blue Ox SwayPro system such as part # BXW0750, you can indeed swap out your existing spring bars and replace them with the # BXW4007 1000 lb capacity spring bars. You'll retain your existing trunnions, and will simply remove the retaining clip that holds your existing bars in the trunnions, slide them out and replace them with the higher-rated spring bars. They will be fully compatible with an existing SwayPro weight distribution kit.

With Blue Ox, there is a 5 dimple system: No dimples means it is rated for up to 350 lbs total tongue weight. One dimple means it is rated for up to 550 lbs. Two dimples indicates up to 750 lbs.

If you have a different tongue weight outside of this range, you'd need to purchase new spring bars for that weight which is the case for almost all weight distribution systems, they don't come with. I have attached these for you below. 2,000 lbs part # BXW4014 1,500 lbs part # BXW4008 1,000 lbs part # BXW4007 750 lbs part # BXW4006 (comes with above) 550 lbs...
view full answer... - Do Nuts of Spring Bar U-Bolts on Blue Ox Sway Pro Need TorqueDue to the spring tension of the spring bars pulling hard on the nuts of the u-bolts you would not have to worry about torqueing them down. As long as the nuts are threaded on they won't go anywhere. Hand tight would be all that's needed.
view full answer... - Can You Use Spring Bars Rated For 1,000 lbs With Bars Rated For 1,500lbsThe 3 dimples on the Replacement Spring Bars for Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System # BXW4008 indicate they are rated for up to 1,000lbs total tongue weight, and the 4 dimples mean they are rated for up to 1,500lbs. That being said you can not mix these because they would need to be matching, as well as they are sold in pairs. If you wanted to swap your 3 dot bars rated at 1,000lbs # BXW4007 with 4 dot bars # BXW4008 rated at 1,500lbs, you'd have to change both bars.
view full answer... - Will MORryde RV Cargo Sliding Tray Add To Trailer Tongue WeightIt really depends on the design of your trailer. I would expect the # MR69FR to add to the tongue weight but it may not be the full 139 lbs. However, if you're telling me that your dry tongue weight is already higher than the rating of the # BXW0753 then it is safe to say you should go ahead and upgrade the spring bars, especially if you're adding the sliding tray. The next size up has a tongue weight range of 750-1,000 lbs so it will be more effective than what you're using now. You...

No dimples = 200 pounds to 350 pounds # BXW4015 1 dimple = 350 pounds to 550 pounds # BXW4005 2 dimples = 550 pounds to 750 pounds # BXW4006 3 dimples = 750 pounds to 1,000 pounds # BXW4007 4 dimples = 1,000...

- Should Blue Ox SwayPro Spring Bars Be Replaced for Significantly Lighter Travel TrailerYou'll have a very rough ride if you use the bars you currently have, so I'd definitely recommend going with lower rated spring bars. It wouldn't be a bad idea to load up your travel trailer as it would normally be when you pull it and determine the actual tongue weight. I'll link you to an article that shows a couple of different ways of doing this, but the easiest way to do it would be to use a payload/tongue weight scale like the etrailer, part # e99044. I'll link to a video showing...

To change the weight rating of the system, you'd simply swap out the spring bars. For up to 750 lb tongue weight we have the part # BXW4006 or for up to 1,000 lbs # BXW4007.

It may ride stiffer due to the lower weight, but it would be ok.

I am still very impressed with this trailer hitch set up. I now have a 2018 Ford Raptor . Ford has reduced the towing capabilities of this 450 hp truck to only 8000 because of the extra soft suspension set up. I can still tow 7500 at 65 mph with out fear of sway problems.
