I recommend the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA92-00-0800 for your 2021 Jayco Jay Flight SLX 8 264BH. This hitch system is rated for a trailer tongue weight of 400-800lbs and a total trailer weight up to 8,000lbs. Your Jayco has a dry tongue weight of 475 which will give you plenty of additional capacity for your gear as well as the propane and battery the dealer installs.

You will need the 1-7/8" 12pt Thin Walled Socket # ALL643216 to install a 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # EQ91-00-6100 on the e2 system.
