Yes, you would just need to replace the spring bars of the # RP66084 and you would have basically the # RP66083 as that is the only difference.

For spring bars you would then just need a quantity of 2 of the part # RP22225.

To get the Reese Dual Cam Sway Control System #RP26002 to fit, your spring bars will need to have a curved end that the chains are attached to. Kind of hard to explain, so I did include a picture of the end of the bar this fits. With that being said…
