When it comes to installing a weight distribution hitch on your 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 I recommend The Strait-Line Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control - Trunnion Bar - 12,000 pounds GTW, 1,200 pounds TW # RP66084.
This system has a tongue weight from 600 pounds to 1,200 pounds so your 8,800 fully loaded trailer works perfect with this hitch. The trunnion spring bars are hot rolled and tapered for superior strength and flexibility. This hitch weights less as the Equalizer which makes it more user friendly.
Everything is included with this system but The 2-5/16 inch Hitch Ball - 1-1/4 inch Diameter x 2-3/4 inch Long Shank - Chrome - 12,000 pounds # 19286.
