What is the Difference Between Trunnion and Round Bar Weight Distribution Systems
Question:
can you please explain the benefits of trunnion vs round
asked by: Donny
Helpful Expert Reply:
The round or trunnion bars refers to the end of the spring bars. Round bars are typically designed for lighter applications, are a bit harder to install and are usually priced lower than trunnion bars. Trunnion bars are typically designed to be used with heavier weight applications, and easier to install than round bars.
Trunnion bars typically offer more ground clearance as well.

I currently have a Fastway E2 set up, can I purchase just the hitch mount, bar mount and bars separately. And what would those items cost.
