What Parts Can Be Used Between Two Weight Distribution Systems With Different Capacities?
Question:
Good Morning, I have an Equalizer 1200 lb TW WD hitch, and have over time increased my tongue weight to approx 1400 lbs. I’d like to now upgrade my current 1200 lb WD hitch to the Equalizer 1600 lb version. I already have the 2.5” shank for my F350 but wanted to know what other components from the Equalizer line i would need to upgrade without having to buy an entire new set up?

To upgrade your 1,200lb Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control # EQ37120ET to the 1,600lb capacity Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control # EQ64FR, you're going to just need to change out the head unit and the spring bars.
Basically all you can use between these systems is the frame brackets and the shank.
