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.

For a trailer that weighs 4,200 lbs you'd be looking at a tongue weight most likely between 420 and 610 lbs. That means the Fastway kit part # FA92-00-0800 that you referenced would work great as it has a tongue weight range of 400 to 800 lbs.
