Since you have a 2-1/2 inch hitch and need an extension for a weight distribution setup on your trailer you would want the # RP45292 as it is designed for use in a 2-1/2 inch hitch and can be used with weight distribution systems.

You would need to cut it down to 24 inches in length and then it would have enough capacity for use with a weight distribution system towing a 8k trailer.
