The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow. This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached an FAQ on determining tongue weight for you to check out as well.

The tongue weight range that the # RP66542 has is 600 to 1,200 lbs. If the tongue weight of your setup falls somewhere in that range (preferably right in the middle) this system would work great for you.

The hitch ball part # 63840 that you also referenced would be a great choice for a hitch ball to use with this system.
