Would you recommend the fastway 0450 over the Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control - 7-Hole Shank - 6K GTW, 600 lbs TW - BLU36FR? Seems like Blue ox is complete package... Thanks for your help!

It will; what is happening is the tongue weight is creating the "V" you mentioned, so you are not towing level, and a weight distribution system is exactly what you need. This will level you out, and for your 330 lb loaded tongue weight, you do have the correct Fastway system:
- Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control # FA92-00-0450
The # FA92-00-0450 will correct the "V" and ensure your Jayco is level, and even though you mentioned you didn't have sway on your last trip, this is certainly something that can occur at times. That's particularly true at faster speeds or when the conditions get windy, so the Fastway is going to give you the added benefit of minimizing any of that sway.
The Fastway weight distribution comes with everything you need except the hitch ball, either the 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # C40007, or more likely for your lighter trailer, the 2" Hitch Ball # 40038.
And to install the hitch ball, it is also highly recommended you use 1-1/2" 12pt Socket # ALL643210.
