Will Longer Chains be Needed When Swapping to Higher Rated Spring Bars
Question:
Im currently using Pro Series 550lb round bars but Im going to order the 750lb bars because once I add in weight distribution and gear behind tow rear axle Im over the 550lb. Besides ordering the bars Im going get the replacement bolts. Another question asked here was someone stated their chain is 11 links but my current set up uses 9 links. Do I need to purchase the 11 link chain or am I ok with 9 links with the new 750lb round bars?

It's harder to say for sure if you'd need longer chains, but most likely if you are using all 9 links of your current chains you'd have to go with a longer chain like the # 58364 that you referenced. The stiffer spring bars will require more links than what you currently have as you won't have to engage them quite as much most likely so it really depends on how many links you are currently using. That said, it's also really almost impossible to say how many links you end up using.
