Hensley Arrow 1000 lb Spring Bars
Just curious what people think of the weight distribution function of the Hensley. I have a new trailer with over 1000 lbs of tongue weight. I am hesitant to transfer my Hensley because the spring bar...

If you go to the 1400lb bars you will have to change out the bushing that the bars fit into. It probably needs replacing anyway since you said your old bars were drawn all the way up. That is what happens when the bushings wear out. The Hensley has no problem distributing heavier weights when the bushings are ok.
The cost is about $50 and is a very easy replacement. Just take out the old bars, remove one bolt holding the bushing in place and remove. Grease and put in new one. Replace bolt and put bars back in. :)
If I were you, I would get new bushings for 1400lb bars, get new bars and go from there. Your present bars are too small if your tongue weight is over 1000lbs. While you are at it, I would get new grease zerks/bar holders also.
