What you'd want is a new shank for your Fastway weight distribution system that fits a 2-1/2 inch hitch like you have. For that you'd want the Equal-i-zer part # EQ90-02-4900 which fits this size hitch and can do a drop of up to 6 inches. When you are ready to buy your new WD system for the new trailer you'll just want to go with a system that doesn't include a shank since you'll have that already.
