Minus packaging, the Reese # RE34FR 6000 lb weight distribution system weighs about 90 lbs. If you're concerned about lugging the weight distribution head and shank around when installing it on the vehicle you'll be looking about 60 lbs minus the spring bars and the frame brackets. The HitchGrip carrying tool, part # 303-HG-712 might be a good investment as it would allow you to carry the head/shank combo less awkwardly which would be much easier on the back.

This particular system is rated for trailers with tongue weights up to 600 lbs and doesn't offer any sway control. You could certainly add that feature using part # 17200.

I've linked to some product videos featuring the Reese system you're asking about, the sway control unit I mentioned and the carrying handle recommended above.
