You cannot use a weight distribution system with a pintle hitch. You would need to remove the pintle hitch you have now in order to use a weight distribution system. Once you do this, I recommend using the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System which has 4-point sway control that will be more more effective at managing trailer sway than most other systems.

In order to choose the correct system you will need to know the total tongue weight (TTW) of your towing setup which is composed of the loaded ready to tow tongue weight (TW) of the trailer and any cargo stored behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle.

I have linked our Equal-i-zer weight distribution systems for you which you can use to select the correct one once you determine your TTW. There is also a review video of the Equal-i-zer weight distribution system as well.
