The best weight distribution with sway control option we have for a trailer that weighs around 7,000 is the Reese Strait Line kit part # RP66084 as it has the correct weight range but also mainly because it has the best sway control that is designed to prevent sway before it happens. The dual cams try to force the trailer to point straight instead of allowing it to potentially sway which is why it works so well.
