Thanks for sending us a picture!

If you have drum brakes, the brake actuator I recommend is the Titan actuator part # T2480000. It's has a gross towing weight of 6,000 pounds, tongue weight of 600 pounds and fits a 2-inch hitch ball.

If you have disc brakes, then go with the Dexter actuator with electric lockout # 099-175-20. It will have the electric lockout and fits a 2-inch hitch ball. The gross towing weight is 7,500 pounds with a maximum tongue weight of 700 pounds.

Both of these brake actuators fit on 3-inch tongues.

I included a helpful article and a couple video reviews for you as well.
