Expert Reply:
The High Performance Reese SC Weight Distribution System # RP66155 you referenced will work just fine with the tongue weight and gross trailer weight you provide. This system also has reactive sway control which means it only responds to trailer sway after sway has already started.
I would recommend the Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution Hitch System, part # RP66074. This system is designed for trailer with tongue weights ranging from 600 to 1200 lbs.
The Strait-Line Weight Distribution System part # RP66074 offers pro-active sway control which once properly set up, will stop the trailer from swaying before it can start. As an additional advantage, there are no U-bolts to conflict with bottle racks or other A-frame mounted items.
The Reese SC system includes the adjustable shank, but the trailer ball is not included. For a 2 inch ball, use part # A-90, or part # 19286 for a 2-5/16 ball.
The shank and the trailer ball are not included with the Strait-Line system. The # RP54970 shank would be a good choice, along with either of the trailer balls mentioned above.
