If you've got a Fastway e2 hitch like the # FA92-00-0600 with trunnion bars then you can use the Replacement Trunnion Spring Bar for Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Systems - 1,000 lbs TW # FA92-02-1099 and Replacement Trunnion for Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Systems - 10,000 lbs GTW # FA92-02-1044 to replace your old bars. You'll need 2 of each for a complete set of 1k trunnion bars.
