Replacement Head and Shank for Equal-i-zer 6K Weight Distribution System

Question

Question:

Someone took the Equal-i-zer head with ball and shank of my truck I still have the sway bars and the other items that were in my trailer. I have a 2017 RAM 2500 all-wheel drive and a small Forest River Mini Lite travel trailer. I believe this head can replace the head that got stolen, but what about the rest? I would appreciate your help. Thanks,
