To replace your current 16500lb actuator with a heavier duty option I recommend the Titan Brake Actuator - Painted - Drum - 2-5/16" Ball - Weld On - 20,000 lbs # T1521000 if your trailer has drum brakes, or the Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator w/ Drop and Electric Lockout - Disc - Zinc - 2-5/16" Ball - 20K # DM8204311 if your trailer has disc brakes.
Both of the options have a 20000lb towing capacity which is the next step up from the 16500lb actuator your currently have, and both will fit your 3" wide trailer tongue.
I included videos for both of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
