Expert Reply:

For a tongue weight figure of 800 lbs I would recommend the Reese Strait Line system part # RP66084 which has a tongue weight range of 600 to 1,200 lbs and features only sway control on the market designed to fight sway before it starts.

You should note that tongue weight also needs to consider the weight of any items behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle.

For a 2 inch ball you would want part # A-90 and for a 2-5/16 inch ball # 19286.
