If you move up to the 1,200LB Equal-i-zer Hitch Head # EQ90-02-1200 you will need to use the larger 1,200lb weight distribution Spring Bars # EQ90-01-1299 with the hitch as they use larger spring bars.

To use your current spring bars you will need the 1,000LB Equal-i-zer Hitch Head # EQ90-02-1000.
