Solution for Reese SC Weight Distribution Trunnion Bar Needing Replacement
Question:
I lost a trunion spring bar off our camper on the way home a few weeks ago. I think its a 58358 part number. The other one has a sticker that says V-5 1200 max hitch, 1200 wt distribution bar, 12000 max trailer wt. Was told reese discontinued making them last year. Can you help with a replacement? my camper is a 2013 passport lite weight. about 3300lbs. empty. 19, truck is a 07 GMC club cab 4x4 1/2 ton pickup.

Thank you for all of the pictures.
I do have a solution for you but when I reached out to my contact at Reese he said that you have the older SC weight distribution (WD) system and there aren't any replacement bars that will fit your application. The Pro Series trunnion bars have a different attachment configuration which keeps them from being interchangeable with the Reese systems.
For your setup you either need to replace the entire WD system or you can use the Replacement Trunnion Spring Bar # RP66009 (you will need to replace both bars) and then swap out your SC mounting brackets for the Heavy Duty Snap-Up Bracket # 58392 (you will need 2) and the Chain Kit # 3216. We also have the Clamp On # RP58306 or the Bolt On # RP58305 hanger options if you want either of those instead.
If you'd rather stick with a similar setup as the SC then we have the 12K Reese Steadi-Flex # RP66560.
Attached are some review videos for you to check out.
