The best way to determine what system will work for you is to know what your total tongue weight is. The total tongue weight is the tongue weight of your fully-loaded-ready-to-tow trailer added to the weight of any cargo you place behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. You will then want to find a system where your total tongue weight falls near the middle of the tongue weight range for the system. Getting a system that is too small will be useless, but getting a system that is too big will result in a stiff, uncomfortable experience.
One of the highest rated weight distribution systems we offer for a vehicle with a 2 inch trailer receiver is the Reese Steadi-Flex # RP66561. This system is designed for tongue weight between 700 and 1400 lbs, so you will need to make sure you do not exceed that tongue weight. You may be able to lower the tongue weight by moving cargo behind the rear axle of your trailer. This system spring bar hangers with friction pads to prevent trailer sway when you are traveling in high winds or passing large trucks.
The hitch ball is sold separately so if you need a 2 inch ball I recommend part # A-90 and for a 2-5/16 inch ball you can use part # 19286.
