Expert Reply:
For a weight distribution system that is better quality, easier to use, and lighter than the Pro Series Weight Distribution System you have now, I recommend using the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution. The Pro Series system weighs around 100 lbs whereas the Fastway system only weighs around 70 lbs. It also has solid spring bars which eliminates the need for link chains
In order to choose the correct setup you will need to find the total tongue weight (TTW) of your loaded ready to tow trailer in addition to any cargo stored behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. As long as this figure does not exceed 450 lbs I recommend using part # FA92-00-0450.
I have attached a review/install video of this system for you as well.
