Does Roadmaster Tow Bar to Blue Ox Base Plate Kit Adapter RM-031 Reduce Capacity

Question:

I have a Roadmaster sterling all terrain tow bar below serial #16,500 which is rated at 8,000 lb tow capacity. I bought a newer Jeep Cherokee toad that came with blue ox base plates installed. I bought the RM 031 tow bar adapters made by Roadmaster. Do these adapter ends maintain the original 8,000 lb tow bar rating or is the towing capacity reduced? The blue ox adapters use smaller hitch pins than the original Roadmaster ends.

The Roadmaster Tow Bar to Blue Ox Brackets Adapter # RM-031 that you referenced will not reduce the weight capacity of your Sterling Tow Bar part # RM-576 that you referenced.
