I have a solution for you, but the Curt Tru-Track # C17499 is only rated for 8000-lbs towing capacity and 800-lbs of tongue weight. Typically when choosing a weight distribution hitch you'll want to ensure that your trailer's GVWR is not over the capacity of the hitch and that the tongue weight of the trailer falls towards the middle of the tongue weight range.
With that said, if your trailer only has minor sway issues and you're more looking for solid weight distribution to reduce sag on your truck then I recommend the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Round - 2-5/16" Hitch Ball - 10K GTW # FA94-00-1061. This system provides 2 point sway control in a round bar system that's great for trailers where sway control isn't the primary concern. If your trailer gets a bit more sway then I recommend going with the Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control - Trunnion - 10K GTW, 1K TW # RP66559 since it has trunnion bars and provides 4 point sway control (both the head and trunnion bars). The Reese system does not come with a hitch ball, and requires a ball with a 1-1/4" diameter shank like the # 19286.
I've linked some review videos of these two systems, as well.
