Replacement Weight Distribution System to Replace Older Style with Worn Out Bars
Question:
Hello, I was looking for a replacement to my reese hitch weight distribution bars. its an older one and i was informed i cant use the trunnion bars they make for the newer hitches. Was wondering where i could find them, also. I needed the rest of the attachment for the trailer as well, brackets, pins, ect camper is 4800lbs dry weight. Ive also provided a picture as the hitch is rusted over pretty good and i cant find the part number for it. Any help would be appreciated Thanks.

Expert Reply:
What you have is an older style of Reese weight distribution system that isn't made any more. I wish there were replacement parts available for it but you are going to have to replace the entire system.
For a great trunnion system that would work well as a replacement you would want the Reese Weight Distribution System # RP66541 that has a tongue weight range of up to 800 lbs.
For a 2 inch ball you would want part # A-90 and for a 2-5/16 inch ball # 19286.
