The Gen-Y Torsion 2-Ball Mount # 325-GH-1224 would work for your application but I recommend the Gen-Y Torsion Weight Distribution Shank # 325-GH-1202. This is made specifically for use with a weight distribution system and would basically replace shank included with the WD system. It features a gross towing weight capacity of 16,000 lbs and is rated for tongue weight from 1,200 lbs to 1,700 lbs. Check out the video linked below for more details.

When picking out a weight distribution system, the main thing you need to consider is the tongue weight rating of the loaded trailer you will be hauling. I attached a guide below to help you determine your trailer's tongue weight rating. From there, you can narrow down your search for a weight distribution system to the appropriate weight ratings. For example, if your tongue weight comes in around 1,600 lbs, I recommend the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution # BXW2003. This system is rated for tongue weights between 1,600 lbs - 2,000 lbs and can tow up to 20,000 lbs.
