The best way to determine what system will work for you is to know what your total tongue weight is. The total tongue weight is the tongue weight of your fully-loaded-ready-to-tow trailer added to the weight of any cargo you place behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. You will then want to find a system where your total tongue weight falls near the middle of the tongue weight range for the system. Getting a system that is too small will be useless, but getting a system that is too big will result in a stiff, uncomfortable experience.

In my research I found your trailer has a GVWR of 9521-lbs.

The weight distribution system I recommend is the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37120ET. This system has a towing capacity of 12,000-lbs and will work with tongue weight between 800 and 1,200-lbs. This system also has 4-point sway control that helps keep the trailer steady when passing large trucks or when it is really windy.

I also recommend the thin-walled socket # EQ70-00-4800 for easier installation of the hitch ball for this system.

I have attached a link to a helpful article about weight distribution systems you can check out.
