With 400 pounds of loaded tongue weight I recommend the Equal-I-zer # EQ37060ET. This weight distribution system is rated for 200 to 600 pounds of tongue weight. You also need to add in the amount of weight stored behind your tow vehicle's rear axle.

Equal-I-zer is one of the most highly regarded manufacturer of weight distribution and uses 4-point sway control to help keep your trailer in line with your tow vehicle. Everything you need is included with the system but you may wish to add a thin walled socket, like # ALL643216, to help with the installation of the hitch ball.

I've attached some videos on the Equal-I-zer and the socket for you. I've also linked an article on weight distribution.
