The best bang for buck weight distribution system for a Keystone Hideout 165LHS is the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution System part # FA92-00-0600 which will also require the 2" Hitch Ball part # A-90. I understand you may be looking at more cost effective alternates but the e2 has both weight distributing and sway control properties and the latter will likely be an issue as is the case for most smaller single axle trailers. The trunnion springs bars are also much less of a hassle than the chain style.
