Expert Reply:
The Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution System w Sway Control # RP66084 is it's one ball mount. You will simply need to choose a hitch ball that matches the size of the coupler on your trailer. You can use part # A-90 if you need a 2 inch diameter hitch ball or part # 19286 if you need a 2-5/16 inch diameter hitch ball.
Keep in mind that you will want the Total Tongue Weight (TTW) of your setup to fall in the middle of the Tongue Weight (TW) range of your Weight Distribution (WD) system. You can find your TTW by adding the TW of your fully loaded and ready-to-go trailer plus the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your 2016 Ram 1500. A correctly loaded trailer will have a TW that is 10-15% of the weight of the loaded trailer.
