asked by: John
Expert Reply:
If the tongue weight on your camper plus the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the Jeep is greater than 600 pounds but less than 800 pounds, go with the 800 pound system, # RP66153.
If you will always be lower than 600 pounds then the 600 pound system, # RP66151, will work just fine.
Both of these systems have built-in friction sway control so you will not need to add any. You will need to add a properly sized ball. For a 2 inch use # A-90 and for a 2-5/16 inch use # 19286.
I have linked instructions and an FAQ article on weight distribution and tongue weight for you.
