Can the Spring Bars of a E2 Weight Distribution System be Changed to Weight Range

Question

Question:

I have an E2 round bar hitch. It is the 1000/10,000# hitch. Will any of the E2 round bars fit in the hitch that I have. That is to say can I switch from the 1000# TW bar to a 6000# bar using the same hitch assembly? The model hitch that I have is the 94-00-1000. Thanks,

If you wanted to change your weight distribution system to lower the tongue weight range from 1,000 to 600 you would just need to replace your bars with the part # FA94-02-0699.

These bars will fit the head of your system.
