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.

Your tongue weight is most likely going to fall between 1,000 and 1,500 lbs so for a weight distribution system you'd want the Reese part # RP66131 which matches your range perfectly. For a shank you'd want the part # RP54970.

For a 2-5/16 inch ball # 19286.
