Looking for a WD/sway for a 4,500. Lb trailer with 2” ball or no ball Most products you have show 2-5/16 ball. Reese or Fastway would be good. Thanks

For your 4,500 lbs trailer, I recommend the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control item # FA94-00-0600. This system has built in sway control that will keep your trailer in line with your truck when you're going down the highway and get passed by a semi or make a sudden move. It does not include a hitch ball so you'll want to get the 2" Hitch Ball for Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Systems Item # EQ91-00-6080.
