Upgrading Spring Bars on a Blue Ox Track Pro
Question:
Im upgrading my travel trailer and the GVW will range between 6500-7500 pounds and the hitch weight will range between 650-1125 pounds. Will my BXW08 TrackPro standard shank 7 hole be strong enough? If not, can I change out the spring bars to increase my TrackPro weight capacity?

Expert Reply:
The Blue Ox Track Pro 7 Hole Shank # BLU28FR can be used with systems with a tongue weight up to 1,300 pounds. Upgrading the bars to a capacity more suitable for your needs would require the Replacement 1,000 pound Track Pro Bars # BLU52FR. These are rated from 800 pounds at the minimum to 1,000 pounds on the maximum, so you would need to load the tongue of the trailer to stay within these weights.
