Go to the hitch web site and see what they say. I have an Equal-i-zer E2 10000/1000 hitch and contacted Equal-i-zer about their hitch. They said that with their hitch - in the way the hitch works - I really do not need to go with lighter bars. But, if I wanted to change just go to an Equal-i-zer dealer and purchase the lighter bars. They will work on the hitch. I would need to let the dealer know weather I had just the Equal-i-zer or the Equal-i-zer E2 because the bars are not interchangable. Good luck and Happy Trails.

I tow my 63GT with a 2500 Dodge Ram 4x4 using an Equalizer hitch with 600# bars ,also have Centramatics. Setup has worked great for 50,000 miles. Don't know where your water tank is but mine is up front and that adds a bunch of tongue weight when full. 600# bars are just right for me.

The bigger bars that came with the trailer are at least 1000lb bars.

Well so far the dealer has yet to return my phone call. I'm thinking they are going to tell me to get lost.

I went to a hitch-specific store to have professional installation and an education on the right equipment and proper use. I feel like I left there sold a piece of equipment that was not right for my application.

It looks like I will Craigslist it and buy a better set up.
