Expert Reply:

Yes, you can replace the spring bars on your Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System # BXW0550 with higher-rated 750 pound bars # BXW4006. This will upgrade the 550 pound tongue weight capacity on your existing system to the 750 pound limit of the new spring bars.

All the SwayPro weight distribution systems use the same head unit, so the spring bars can be swapped without issue.
