Thanks for the pictures!
Based on the pictures you sent it appears you have an older Valley Industries weight distribution system.
I have a replacement option for you, but since Valley Industries is out of business there are no replacement parts available, or a different spring bar that is compatible with your system.
I recommend replacing your current system, but the correct system will be dependent on which weight system you currently have, or the total tongue weight of your vehicle and trailer.
Total tongue weight is the tongue weight of your fully loaded and ready to tow trailer, plus any cargo weight behind the rear axle of your vehicle. The easiest way to determine your total tongue weight is using a tongue weight scale like the etrailer # e99044 to measure the trailer tongue weight, and adding the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your vehicle.
For example the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control # FA92-00-0800 would be a great option if your total tongue weight is between 500-800lbs.
If you can let me know the total tongue weight and trailer weight of your loaded trailer, or the weight rating of your current system I would be happy to recommend a new weight distribution system for you.
I included videos to each of the products mentioned, and a link to a helpful article on measuring total tongue weight for you to take a look at.
