That is correct. You will not be able to use a weight distribution anti-sway system with the Stealth Hitch # SH57FRT. Although, you can still tow your 5,500 pound trailer if you wanted to use this hitch with the ball mount attachment only (without the anti-sway weight distribution). The 8,000-pounds of gross weight capacity is for the hitch ball mount. Also, it is important not to exceed the maximum tongue weight of 800 pounds on the ball mount.
There may be a hitch that gives the the ability to use an anti-sway weight distribution system. Guessing from this hitch, you have a Porsche Cheyenne. Feel free to respond to this answer with your year of your model to confirm, and I can point you in the right direction.
