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.

Since your trailer weighs 4,500 lbs your tongue weight is going to be between 450 lbs and 675 lbs.

The best weight distribution system with sway control that we offer would be the Reese Strait-Line part # RP66083 which has a tongue weight range of 400-800 lbs and features the only sway control 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.
