• Can 1,700 Pound Trunnion Spring Bars Replace 800 Pound Spring Bars for Trailer Weight Distribution
  I spoke with my contact at Reese and he stated that if your 800 pound system is newer, within the last 3-1/2 to 4 years, then the higher capacity 1,700 pound bars, like # 66010, will fit. However, what you need to also look at is the shank. The shank that came with the 800 pound system is good for a maximum of 1,500 pounds, like # RP54970. The shank used for the complete Reese 1,700 pound system is # RP54977, and it only fits in a 2-1/2 inch receiver. If you can use the 1,500 pound shank...

• Replacement Hitch Head for Reese Straight-Line 17K Weight Distribution System
  Thank you for all of the details and photos! The Replacement Head # RP58167 and Curt Hitch Ball # C40008 are what you need to complete the 12K system. Since this same head is used for the 12K and 17K systems all you need to do is get two of the 1.7K tongue weight arms # 66010 to upgrade to the higher rated system. By using the larger arms you get the 17K kit # RP66075 which has a tongue weight range of 1,100 lbs - 1,700 lbs that's perfect for either loaded weight you mentioned needing. The...

• Can a Reese Weight Distribution Spring Bar be Used Upside Down
  Spring bars can only be installed the one way. You would not be able to install them correctly upside down anyway. All you would need is a weight distribution shank that provides the right amount of rise needed to tow the trailer level. Measuring for rise is easy. You take a measurement from level ground up to the bottom of the trailer coupler with the trailer level. Then you take a measurement from level ground to the top of the receiver opening on the trailer hitch. However much taller...

• Reese Weight Distribution Cam Arms Bending With Grand Design Reflection 315RLTS Travel Trailer
  Your Strait-Line Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control # RP66084 is not enough hitch for your Grand Design Reflection 315RLTS. According to the information I found the dry tongue weight on your travel trailer is 1,100lbs. By the time you add propane, batteries and your gear you are far over the 1,200lb maximum tongue weight of your hitch. This explains why your Reese Dual Cam High-Performance Sway Control # RP26002 arms are bending. You need two of the Reese Replacement Trunnion...

• Are 1,700 lb Spring Bars Right for Camper Trailer With 1,400 lb Dry Tongue Weight
  Thanks for being so specific and I can safely say you will need spring bars with a higher capacity because a loaded trailer will add enough to that tongue weight to make the 1,500 lb bars you have not rated highly enough. For a camper trailer with a 1,390 lb dry tongue weight the 1,700 lb Reese Replacement Trunnion Spring Bar # 66010 is highly likely to be exactly what you need. I have added a link to a video review for you to take a look at as well.

• Tongue Weight Capacity of Reese Replacement Head for Trunnion Weight Distribution Systems RP58167
  The Reese Replacement Head for Reese Trunnion Weight Distribution Systems # RP58167 does not itself carry a weight rating since that will be determined by the particular set of trunnion spring bars that are installed in it. The head has enough capacity for use with any of the appropriate Reese trunnion bars we offer including part # 66010, a set of which is rated for 1700-lbs maximum tongue weight.

• Will Lift Brackets of Reese Round Bar Weight Distribution System Need to Be Moved for Trunnion Bars
  According to the folks at Reese, when one of their trunnion bar weight distribution systems like the # RP66074 is installed, the center of the snap up brackets would sit about 29-1/2 inches rearward of the center line of the trailer ball, give or take a 1/4 of an inch. If your current system uses the Reese Heavy Duty round bars, they are the same length as the trunnion bars so your snap up brackets would already be in the correct location. If you have a Pro Series round bar system, those...

• Will the Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution Hitch RP66130 Work for 1120-lbs Tongue Weight Trailer
