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 unloaded tongue weight of 880 lbs you most likely would be best served with a 1,200 lb max system like the # EQ37120ET which has a tongue weight range of 800 1,200 lbs and has the 4 points of sway control you want as well.

For a thin walled socket you then would want the part # ALL643216.
