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. 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 as much as possible.

Based on that the Fastway kit part # FA92-00-0600 would work well since it has a tongue weight range of 250-600 lbs but if you wanted the best option I would recommend the Strait Line kit part # RP66082 as it has the best sway control out there that works to fight sway before it starts.

For a 2 inch ball you would want part # A-90 and for a 2-5/16 inch ball # 19286.
