Where is Tongue Weight Info Usually Listed on Spring Bars of Reese Strait Line WD System

Question:

I purchased a trailer with this set up but was only installed with the wd.... and sway stuff in a box. My question is first what labels should I bee looking at to know what they purchased for weight and tw rating? Second question is after my trailer renovation and I measure tongue weight can I buy just new trunion bars to better match the tw?? I will also need new brackets which I think have been lost. Thank you for your help

On top of the spring bars there should be a sticker with the tongue weight rating for the spring bars listed. Hopefully it is still there!

You could use a tongue weight scale like the part # e99044 to determine what your tongue weight is and from there determine what the best tongue weight range spring bars to use. Ideally you want your tongue weight to fall right in the middle of the spring bar range. The part # RP22225 has a tongue weight range of 400-800 lb.

Since you need new brackets and spring bars it might be best to go with a kit that doesn't include a shank so you'd get all new components.
