Although the Reese # RP66083 Strait-Line weight distribution hitch would do an excellent job for you, I personally prefer the weight distribution/sway control kits from Equal-i-zer because they're easier to set up, less mechanically complicated and manufactured in the USA.
I'd recommend the Equal-i-zer # EQ37060ET which is designed for trailers with tongue weights under 600 lbs like yours and would work perfectly for you. The kit includes the weight distribution shank that provides up to 7 inches of rise or a 3 inch drop and includes the 2-5/16 trailer ball. You'll need a 1-7/8 inch thin walled socket to install the ball, if you don't have or can't borrow one we offer them as part # EQ70-00-4800.
