Yes. We do recommend using a weight distribution hitch on your 2021 Jayco Feather Light 183 to obtain the most control and peace of mind when traveling. In addition to control, it dramatically increases overall safety of your setup.
From the available specs I have of your trailer, it has a gross weight of 4,150 lbs and a loaded tongue weight between 415-623 pounds. With that weight, I recommend using the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Round - 8,000 lbs GTW, 800 lbs TW # FA94-00-0800. Since the tongue weight range of this hitch is between 400 lbs - 800 lbs, this is the system that provides you with the perfect firmness you need. As far as compatibility, this hitch mounts 24" - 27" back from center of coupler and fits trailer frames up to 6" high.
Since the hitch ball is sold separately, you need a ball that has a 1-1/4" shank like the 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # 63840 (if that's the size of your coupler). I also recommend using a thin-walled socket # EQ70-00-4800 for installing the ball.
I went ahead and attached some helpful videos for you to check out.
