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.

Based on the numbers you listed if your trailer was fully loaded it could potentially have a tongue weight of up to 990 lbs. Which the Reese WD system part # RP66542 would work great with as it has a tongue weight range of 600-1,200 lbs.
