Expert Reply:

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 part # EQ37060ET that you referenced ahs a tongue weight range of 200-600 lbs which is most likely going to be a little too light for your trailer. You'd want the part # EQ37100ET instead which has a tongue weight range of 600 lbs - 1,000 lbs which would be perfect for your trailer. You'll also need a thin-walled socket to install the hitch ball like part # ALL643216.
