For a heavy duty hitch to fit your 2011 Ram 2500 with higher towing capacities the Draw Tite part # DT45509 would be a great option as this is rated for up to 18,000 lb of trailer weight. It will require the removal of your factory hitch as well.

Then for a weight distribution system the Equal-i-zer part # EQ64FR would be a really great option for a 13,000 lb trailer as it has a tongue weight range of 1,200-1,600 lbs.

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…
