The weight distribution system we offer that would work perfectly with your loaded tongue weight of 410 lbs would be the Strait Line part # RP66083 which has a tongue weight range of 400 to 800 lbs and features the only sway control system on the market designed to prevent sway before it starts.

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 a 2 inch ball you would want part # A-90 and for a 2-5/16 inch ball # 19286.
