We do have an option for you, though there isn't a standalone cushioned ball mount like the Curt Rebellion XD Shock Absorbing Adjustable Ball Mount # C83WR that is compatible or rated for use with a weight distribution system. While the shanks do look similar the Rebellion shank is too narrow for a weight distribution head to fit on.

What you can use instead is a cushioned shank that is compatible with your Equal-i-zer weight distribution system; the Gen-Y Torsion Weight Distribution Shank will mount directly in your trailer hitch and you'll simply replace your Equal-i-zer's shank with this shank. So while not technically a ball mount, the Gen-Y shank does act as one, and cushions your ride for a much more comfortable towing experience.

Each of the Gen-Y shanks has a maximum rise and drop of 6-1/2 inches, and the correct one will depend on if your F-350 has a 2 inch or 2-1/2 inch receiver, as well as the total tongue weight of your loaded 9,000 lb travel trailer.

- 2" Hitch With Total Tongue Weight Between 1,200 lbs and 1,700 lbs: Gen-Y Torsion Weight Distribution Shank # 325-GH-1202
