swapping spring bars....

for the first year of towing with the haha i used 1000 lb spring bars...

that's with a 34 limited of recent vintage
and a tongue mass of 950lb to 1100 lbs depending on loads...

i described my cat scale visit in another thread,
and most felt my final tweaking and near 50/50 tv axle loads were acceptable.
in additon my trailer and truck were pretty level.
with the truck perhaps 1/2 lower on the rear axles, relatively.

anyway after a year i decided to change from 1000lb spring bars to 1400lb bars...

i'll explain why another time.

my focus for the next few posts...
is inspecting the parts as used, comparing new/old parts
and showing some of the steps to make the change....

doing so also gave me better insight into the haha bits...

perhaps this is of value to others...

as always please post comments, insights, suggestions...

while we grow the 'ultimate haha users guide'.

cheers
