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.

If your unloaded tongue weight is 700 lbs it would be pretty easy for the loaded tongue weight to be around 900 lbs, but that's purely a speculation so you will need to confirm this.

The part # RP66084 actually would work perfectly for this since it has a tongue weight range of 600 lbs - 1,200 lbs. This system also has the only sway control on the market that works to prevent sway before it starts.

Normally if you are using a properly rated and set up WD system you don't need suspension enhancement.

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