Expert Reply:
The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow. This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached a help article on determining tongue weight for you to check out as well. You will want the loaded tongue weight of your setup to fall right in the middle of the tongue weight range of the system you use.
For a setup that has 400 lbs of tongue weight the Strait Line part # RP66082 with it's tongue weight range of 200-400 lbs would work perfectly.
For a 2 inch ball you would want part # A-90 and for a 2-5/16 inch ball # 19286.
