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.

If your loaded tongue weight is 540 lbs I would recommend the Strait-Line Weight Distribution system part # RP66083 as this system has a tongue weight range of 400-800 lbs and features the only sway control on the market that works to prevent sway before it starts.
