Strait Line Weight Distribution for Jayco that Weighs 6,000 lbs

Question

Question:

High folks. Just picked up a 2019 Jayco RV. Max GTW will be 6k lbs. Really like the Reese RP66130 weight distribution with anti-sway system but it is overkill. Do you offer a Reese setup with less capacity but with the nice anti-sway?
