The highest capacity weight distribution system we have is the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control item # BXW2000. It is rated for trailer's up to 20,000 lbs with a tongue weight range of 1,500 - 2,000 lbs. This system has built in sway control, a 2-1/2" shank, and a 2-5/16" hitch ball.

Since you have an 8" frame you will also need the Clamp-On Lift Brackets for Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution Systems item # BLU98FR. These are specifically designed for taller frames like yours.

It sounds like you're looking for the torque specs for the lug nuts on a 6,000 pound axle. For a hub with 1/2 inch studs, 90 to 95 foot-pounds is standard.
