Can 1,200 lb Equalizer Spring Bars Replace 1,000 lb Spring Bars

Question:

I have the equalizer 4pt 1000/10000 wdh setup. I have the max number of washers installed. I have a forest river 2107 274dbh. Some specs say the tongue weight is 725 while others say 925. Can I upgrade to the 1200 bars and use same hitch head assembly.

Since the 1,200 Equal-i-Zer spring bars # EQ90-01-1299 are wider at 1-1/2 inches than the 1,000 lb bars which are 1-3/8 inch you'd have to swap heads too. So with that you'd need the part # EQ90-02-1200 too to be able to convert from 1,000 lb tongue weight to 1,200 lb.
