Availability of 800 lb Round Spring Bars for Fastway e2 Weight Distribution

Question

Question:

I have an e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Round, with 600 lb bars that was purchased for a 4400lb GVWR trailer 520 lb hitch weight. If I upgrade to a trailer with a 7495 lbs GVWR 581 lb hitch weight, can I use the same setup after readjusting, or if I need to upgrade, can I just get new bars?

If the loaded tongue weight is 581 lbs it is within the range of your e2 Weight Distribution System. If you need to upgrade the bars you'd just need the 800 lb spring bars part # FA94-02-0899 and you'd be set.
