I looked online and the Forest River 263bhxl tops out at right around 7,500 lbs when fully loaded. A weight distribution system is recommended off of tongue weight which is typically 10% -15% of your trailer's total weight. This would put yours from 750 lbs - 1125 lbs. With this in mind I would not recommend using the Blue Ox TrackPro item # BLU55FR you were looking at. It has a tongue weight range of 800 lbs - 1,000 lbs and you would get nothing out of it if your tongue weight is above 1,000 lbs.

Instead I recommend using the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution item # FA92-00-1200. This system has a tongue weight range of 800 lbs - 1,200 lbs and also includes built in sway control.

I have linked an installation video below.
