So the the best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the trailer setup and go with a system that has a tongue weight range which allows the trailers tongue weight to fall right into the middle of. With that in mind the tongue weight of a trailer is typically between 10 and 15 percent of the total trailer's weight. So if your trailer's weighs 7,699 lbs that would mean your loaded tongue weight would most likely be between 770 and 1,100 lbs. That means the # FA94-00-0800 would be rated too low and you'd need the version rated higher like the # FA92-00-1200 which has a tongue weight range of 800-1,200 lbs. This also uses trunnion bars instead of round bars which allows for better ground clearance as well.

For a hitch ball you'd then want the part # 19286 and for a thin walled socket to install the ball part # ALL643216.
