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.

So a trailer like yours that weighs 7,300 lbs would have a tongue weight range of 700 to 1,000 lbs most likely. That means the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA94-00-1061 that you referenced would work well as it has a tongue weight range of 600-1,000 lbs. To install the hitch ball though you'll need a thin walled socket like part # EQ70-00-4800.
