While both of those products will help to improve your ride quality, I believe a weight distribution system will give you better results. Both will help to level your ride, but weight distribution will do a lot more to prevent and correct sway while you are towing. A great choice is the Blue Ox Trackpro # BLU36FR. This is their 6,000 lb system so it will work nicely for your 5K trailer. The Trackpro is a top quality system and is made in the USA. They are very easy to set up, install generally takes about an hour for a first timer.
