Expert Reply:
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.
Your trailer could have a tongue weight as low as 385 lbs if it was totally unloaded, or it could have a tongue weight as high as 660 lbs if it was maxed out.
For a weight distribution system that would work great with that range and would have the only sway control on the market designed to fight sway before it starts you would want the # RP66083. This system has a range of 400-800 lbs and features the only sway control on the market designed to fight sway before it starts.
For a 2 inch ball you would want part # A-90 and for a 2-5/16 inch ball # 19286.
