I have a solution for you but the spring bars are a slightly different size, so in order to go from 1,400 lbs spring bars to the 1,200 lbs Spring Bars for Equal-i-zer item # EQ90-01-1299 you would also need to get a new head unit. You will want the 1,200 lb Replacement Head for Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Systems item # EQ90-02-1200.
