JBarca what hitch are you using. I am finding that not all replacement round bars are compatible. I may have to go with a new hitch all together. I have found a 1400# in a round bar style and a 1500# in a Trunnion style. I have not found a 1700#
I have the Reese HP trunnion bar hitch with the HP Dual Cam. To get the 1,700# rating I had to upgrade the my Ford receiver to a 2 1/2" Reese Tow Beast receiver as the OEM one stopped at 1,250# in WD mode. I also have a 2 1/2" WD shank that tapers to 2" to go into the hitch head.
Here is a pic
Reese offers 600, 800, 1,200, 1,500 and 1,700 bars that all fit the same HP Trunnion bar HP hitch head. The WD shank needs to change to get to 1,700#
If you are thinking of going this way, a very good hitch, lets talk a little first so you get the right setup from the word go.
Hope this helps
