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.

For your tongue weight that would most likely end up around 300 lbs I would recommend the Reese Light Duty Weight Distribution system part # 66557.

For a 2 inch ball you would want the part # 63845 or for a 2-5/16 inch ball part # 63847.
