It sounds like you are looking to upgrade your Equalizer Weight Distribution setup from a 1,200 lb tongue weight setup to a 1,400 lbs setup. To do that you will also need to upgrade the head since the bars are all made to fit one specific head.

For the 1,400 lb bars part # EQ90-01-1499 you would also need the matching replacement head part # EQ90-02-1400.
