When Switching Weight Distribution Spring Bar Rating Is New Setup Required
Question:
I currently have a 1000/10000 lb Equalizer system. I am going to upgrade the head and bars to 1200/12000. Will I need to readjust the wdh setup? It looks like the heads are all essentially the same size. I should be able to just swap the heads and bars, and use the same amount of off-set washers in the head right?

Expert Reply:
You'll need a new setup when going to a different spring bar since the bars would be rated totally differently. The part # EQ90-01-1299 is the correct spring bars and then for the head you'd want # EQ90-02-1200.
