The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution system # EQ37101ET does not come with the 2-5/16 inch ball already installed in the head. It is fairly easy to do though but you will need a thin-walled socket # EQ70-00-4800 to make it easier. We can do it here only if the system is also installed here. A shank is not included with this system. I have included a link to the compatible shanks for you.
As far as what is the best weight distribution system it is really a matter of opinion. I would say that both Equal-I-Zer and Reese are better than Husky. Between Equal-I-zer and Reese some people where by one or the other. I prefer the Reese Strait-Line systems because they do not rely on metal to metal contact for sway control. But they require more fine tuning than the Equal-I-Zer brand. You would be happy with either one though.
To choose a weight distribution system you will need to go by the total tongue weight of the set up. This is calculated by taking the tongue weight of the trailer, when loaded and ready to tow, and adding to that the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I have included some links with information on weirght distribution and determining tongue weight for you.
