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.

Once you know your tongue weight you will want to check out the link I attached that has all of the weight distribution systems we carry. You will be able to select your tongue weight from the filters to see what would be rated for your setup.

I really like the Strait-Line systems like part # RP66083 as they feature the only sway control on the market designed to fight sway before it starts. If your tongue weight falls between 400 lbs - 800 lbs this system would be the correct rated system.

For a 2 inch ball you would want part # A-90 and for a 2-5/16 inch ball # 19286.
