Thank you for all that info and we do have the perfect option for your needs, which is a weight distribution hitch for your range of tongue weight. I do highly recommend a hitch with sway control as a friction sway bar really isn't going to do as much to control sway as a hitch with built-in sway control.

For your trailer with a 6,500 lb GVWR, your tongue weight will very likely be in the 700 lb to 900 lb range, and the best option for that is a hitch from Fastway:

- Fastway e2 Weight Distribution with 2-Point Sway Control # FA94-00-1033

This system is rated for tongue weights between 600 lbs and 1,000 lbs, so your trailer will have a tongue weight in the middle of this range, which is exactly what you want. It also does not come with a shank since you mentioned you have one, but if you need a different rise or drop you can get a new shank such as the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Shank - 10-1/4" Rise, 5-1/2" Drop # FA92-02-4214 or 12-1/2" Rise 9-3/4" Drop # FA92-02-4315.

The Fastway e2 # FA94-00-1033 has superior sway control created by friction at two points on the brackets and is going to give you a much more controlled (and safe) ride than other options. The e2 is also really easy to set up, especially compared to systems that use chains, saving you a lot of of time. I also really like the Fastway because it is easily the best value among weight distribution hitches, with a unique combination of relative cost-effectiveness and high quality.

The only other thing you will need is a hitch ball for this hitch, the 2-5/16" Hitch Ball for Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Systems # EQ91-00-6120.
