Mefly - WILCO! And I did read about the bar grinding... actually one of the reasons I asked if it was the couplers that were different, or the bars between 6K and 10K models.

Jim, I did read your post - and thanks for the reminder - I'll go back and read it again! And, thanks Aaron about the water tank tip!

The heads all have different part numbers for the weight they are rated for... so I'm assuming there is some difference. The load bars are a separate issue... you can use lighter or heavier bars if you find you need more or less lift. If you are only transferring a few hundred pounds, the 600 lb bars will be fine - you'll just get more flex from them then going to 1000 lb bars. More flex give you a squishier ride... possibly some porpoising if your tow vehicle has crappy shocks...

On the Equal-I-Zer brand, the bars are not interchangeable among different rated models. The reason is the bars are thicker for larger weight rating, and the head is fitted tightly to that particular size bar. A larger bar will not fit a smaller head, and smaller bar will be loose in a larger head, loosing its friction point for sway control.
