If the tongue weight of your setup is 708 lbs when the trailer is fully loaded then the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control part # FA94-00-1061 is a great choice. The Fastway e2 is designed for tongue weights between 600 lbs - 1,000 lbs so if your tongue weight when empty is 708 lbs and closer to the 1,000 lb range when loaded with cargo and weight behind the rear axle of the towed vehicle then this system may be underrated for you.

If 708 lbs is your loaded tongue weight the Fastway FA94-00-1061 will work well for you. It has a 2-point friction design that keeps the trailer in line when you are on the highway and experience a sudden gush of wind that would otherwise cause the trailer to sway all over the place. It also comes with a 2-5/16" hitch ball and shank so you will not need any other components for installation.

Another thing to keep in mind is if the trailer has the room on the frame for the brackets. The brackets need to be positioned 24" - 27" back from center of coupler.
