Lighter Trunnion Bar Sets For a 1,200LB Fastway e2 Weight Distribution System

Question

Question:

Do you sell and stock 800lb spring bars for the Fastway e2 system. Currently have 1200lb and when properly set up my truck really rides stiff. I have a 1 ton truck with ~950lb TW. I really dont need the WD as much as sway control. Towing a 8500lb TT with a RAM 3500 diesel.

While we do have a set of 800lb Trunnion Bars # FA92-01-0899 which will fit your 1,200lb Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA92-00-1200 I would not recommend going this route since you have 950lbs of tongue weight. The additional weight could damage the bars which would then cause the sway control to not function correctly. We do have the 1,000lb Trunnion Bars # FA92-01-1099 which you could switch to and safely stay within the tongue weight rating for your trailer.
