Expert Reply:
The Blue OX Weight Distribution System you're talking about item # BXW1006 will get the job done but you will have a very rigid and stiff ride. I have a better product for you based on the weight specifications you've provided.
I recommend a different Blue Ox weight distribution system with a little more than half of the tongue weight at 750 lbs. The Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution Hitch item # BXW0756 will provide a smoother ride and still have more than enough capacity to haul your trailer fully load.
