Thanks for providing as much information on your setup as you did. That makes my job very easy!

So your trailer at it's heaviest would be 3,500 lbs which would mean the tongue weight could range from 350 to 525 lbs. The part # FA92-00-0450 is most likely going to be not rated high enough as you also have to factor the weight of cargo behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle as tongue weight too. The part # FA92-00-0600 would be a better option as it has a tongue weight limit of 600 lbs and would work well for you.

For a 2-5/16 inch ball you would need part # EQ91-00-6100 or for a 2 inch ball # EQ91-00-6080.
