For towing mirrors for your 2015 Toyota Tundra we have the CIPA Mirrors part # CM11300 that are a confirmed fit that would work well. I attached an install video for these for you to check out as well.
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 trailer that weighs 5,500 lbs your loaded tongue weight would end up being between 550 and 825 lbs so for a weight distribution system I would recommend the # RP66083 unless your loaded tongue weight does exceed 800 lbs. This system has the only sway control designed to fight sway before it starts so it's a great option.
If you need a higher rated system I would recommend the # RP66084 as it has a tongue weight range of 600-1,200 lbs.
For a 2 inch ball you would want part # A-90 and for a 2-5/16 inch ball # 19286.
