I spoke with my contact at Reese and I have some information. Depending on the age of your system and what type of head came with it, you may be able to use the replacement spring bars, # RP66009. If your head is numbered 58167 or it looks like # RP58167 then you will be able to use the spring bars.
If your head uses the spring bars that are held in with clips that are dropped in the head, then the spring bars will not fit.
If you find that they will work, you will need to order 2 of # RP66009 as they are sold as single bars. You can then install the dual-cam sway control, # RP26002. I have included a link to the installation details for the sway control for you to view.
