Replacement Round Bars For Weight Distribution System
Question:
Thanks for your previous reply. Someone stole both round bars from my trailers Reese hitch. I do not know the age or model but I could take a picture. Is there more than one version? Once I have your replacement bars do I need to purchase chain as well? I purchased the hitch assembly more than a decade ago to pull a 25 foot, 3000 pound Trail Manor. Without the bars, the trailer sways. Thanks

The size is important to know because you may find something that will fit but the wrong weight capacity could make the ride stiff and uncomfortable or if it is too light could render the system useless. We will need to know the make and model of the WD system you currently have to make sure we choose the correct replacement bars. I have attached a link to our product page that lists the round bars we offer for weight distribution.
For replacement weight distribution chain kits for Reese you can order part # 3216. For Curt the kit is part # C17111.
You may want to consider a new system. One system I recommend is the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution, part # FA94-00-0600. This is a round bar system and it is designed for tongue weight between 400 and 600 lbs. This system uses a hitch ball with a 1-1/4 inch shank so if you need a 2-inch hitch ball I recommend part # EQ91-00-6080 and for a 2-5/16 inch hitch ball I recommend part # EQ91-00-6100.
