Expert Reply:
When picking out a weight distribution the best way is to go with a system that has a tongue weight range where your trailer's tongue weight falls right into the middle of. So the Reese Strait Line part # RP66083 would be an excellent choice since it has a range of 400-800 lbs and features best sway control at stopping sway before it starts.
