I recommend the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution # BXW2000 for your trailer as this system is rated for 1,500-2,000lbs of tongue weight. Be sure not to exceed the 2,000lbs of tongue weight or 20,000lbs of total trailer weight.

The lighter system # BXW1500 is rated for a maximum tongue weight of 1,500lbs so you have already maxed out this system before you added any weight to it.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
