What Needs to Change to Upgrade to 1,400 lb Equal-I-Zer System

Question

Question:

I need a set of print bars for a 1200lb head unit. Your 1200lb spring bars are out of stock. You have 1400lb bars in stock. They look like the same size. Am I correct that they would work? Why are they $30 more? Thanks

To upgrade your Equalizer weight distribution to a 1,400 spring bar you would need the bars like part # EQ90-01-1499 and you'd also need a replacement head too with part # EQ90-02-1400 since the heads and the bars are all made to fit each other based on weight rating.
