Expert Reply:
I recommend using the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA92-00-0800. This will work with tongue weights from 400-800lbs and trailers up to 8,000lbs. It also uses trunnion weight distribution bars that will give you better ground clearance and last longer.
You will need a 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # EQ91-00-6100 and a 1-7/8" 12pt Thin Walled Socket # ALL643216 to install it on your hitch.
