Weight Distribution Hitch For A 8.5 X 20 Enclosed Cargo Trailer
Question:
I recently purchase an 8.5 X 20 enclosed cargo trailer that has part of a Reese sway/load control system installed. Id like to be able to send a couple of pictures 1 of the parts installed, 1 of my truck with current hitch so that you can tell me what I need to complete the system.

After looking into your pictures that you sent they basically took all the main components of the existing weight distribution hitch. I recommend getting a whole new unit.
When choosing the correct system you need to be as close to the loaded tongue weight as possible. Being over or under will give you a worse ride then not having a weight distribution hitch at all. The Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control # FA94-00-1061 has a tongue weight between 600 pounds and 1,000 pounds so it will put you right in the recommend area.
The Fastway hitch has integrated 2-point sway control that limits side-to-side movement. The hitch has a powder coated steel construction that is durable and corrosion resistant. It includes all the need components to safely tow your trailer.
I attached a review video link below.
