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.
The Fastway Weight Distribution System # FA94-00-1000 has a tongue weight range of 600-1,000 lbs. If when your trailer is loaded the tongue weight is around 800 lbs this would be ideal.
If your loaded tongue weight is 588 then the # FA94-00-0800 would be your better option as it has a tongue weight range of 400 to 800 lbs.
For a hitch ball then you'd want the part # 63840 for a 2-5/16 inch ball.
