Blue Ox Spring Bars

Hello everyone. I am getting a new camper with a lighter tongue weight so the Blue Ox spring bars I have need to be replaced. I bought the hitch a few years ago and it looks like the spring bars have changed a bit. Wondering if anyone knows about this and if the new ones I've ordered will need extra hardware and what that might be.

    Wouldn't it make the most sense to just call Blue Ox and ask? :h
  • Yes it would, thanks. Unfortunately the time difference is such that I will not get through for a few hours and I'm in a bit of a time crunch as I just discovered this possible difference. I actually did email Blue Ox last night. I am only trying to gather as much information as I can quickly to try to figure out if there are more parts I must order. Thanks for the suggestion.
  • Yup, sure did. I need a locking pin kit so I ordered it. Unfortunately they didn't tell me that I actually need TWO (one for each side) so I have now done that. I would like to say that I am confident about all of this but all I'm able to say is that my fingers are crossed.
