I store my bars in a wood box I made. When I went from 750# to 1000# or 1200 (forget which now), they would no longer fit. The new ones were an inch or two longer and that was the only difference I could see between the bar sets.
Equal-i-zer Spring Arms are rated @ 400, 600, 1000, 1200, and 1400 lbs ... heavier bars are thicker. All Equal-i-zer hitches are labeled with
the model number so unless it's been removed or painted over determining it's weight rating is as simple as looking at the label. IMO one significant drawback to the Equal-i-zer system is that each spring bar will only fit the head designed for that weight rating ... change spring bars and you gotta change the head, meaning you might as well sell the entire unit and buy another with the correct weight rating. In contrast, if you own a Blue Ox Sway Pro and change to a heavier or lighter trailer all you need to do is replace the spring bars, everything else remains the same. :B
