Can You Use Spring Bars Rated For 1,000 lbs With Bars Rated For 1,500lbs
Question:
Is it safe to use a 3 dot bar with a 4 dot bar?
asked by: James B
Expert Reply:
The 3 dimples on the Replacement Spring Bars for Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System # BXW4008 indicate they are rated for up to 1,000lbs total tongue weight, and the 4 dimples mean they are rated for up to 1,500lbs.
That being said you can not mix these because they would need to be matching, as well as they are sold in pairs.
If you wanted to swap your 3 dot bars rated at 1,000lbs # BXW4007 with 4 dot bars # BXW4008 rated at 1,500lbs, you'd have to change both bars.
