This is a pretty common issue with aluminum frames so we definitely have a options available for you. With that being said, the 8 inch frame height will make things a bit more difficult, but not impossible.
First, the Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control - Trunnion # C17501 will handle tongue weights from 1,000 pounds up to 1,500 pounds. This will need the Frame Brackets for Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control - 8" Frames # C17515 and depending on how much drop you need to stay level, you may also need something like the Curt Shank # 17120 which will have 5-3/4" of drop.
Next will be the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control - Clamp On # BXW1500. This will handle the same 1,000 pounds to 1,500 pounds tongue weights, but does use the quieter chain style system. You will still need to add on the Clamp-On Lift Brackets # BLU98FR to get it to fit your frame and or the 9 Hole Adjustment Shank # BXW4003 with 4-1/2" of drop to stay level, but it is a nice system as well.
Between the two options, I do prefer the Curt TruTrack # C17501. This technically will be a little louder than the Blue Ox, but all weight distribution systems will make noise and that actually means its working. The friction style frame brackets on the Curt will offer better sway control than the chain style options, hence my preference to the Curt # C17501.
