Helpful Expert Reply:
For a loaded tongue weight of 905 lbs the best weight distribution with sway control is the Reese Strait Line system part # RP66084 that you referenced. It has a tongue weight range of 600-1,200 lbs and features the only sway control on the market designed to fight sway before it starts.
For a 2 inch ball you would want part # A-90 and for a 2-5/16 inch ball # 19286.
