The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow. This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached a help article on determining tongue weight for you to check out as well. You will want the loaded tongue weight of your setup to fall right in the middle of the tongue weight range of the system you use.
For an 1,800 lb trailer the tongue weight would be between 180 and 270 lbs.
For that low of a tongue weight the best option would be the Equalizer part # EQ37040ET which has a tongue weight range of up to 400 lbs.
