It looks like your 2022 Forest River Rockwood 8337RL tops out at 11,00 lbs. Weight distribution systems are based off of a trailer's tongue weight. The tongue weight is typically between 10% and 15% of your trailer's total weight. This means your Forest River would have a tongue weight somewhere between 1,100 lbs and 1,650 lbs. With this in mind, the best system is going to be the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control item # EQ64FR.

The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System item # EQ64FR has a tongue weight range between 1,200 lbs - 1,600 lbs so it will be perfect for your trailer. This system has built in 4-point sway control that will keep your trailer in line when you are going down the highway and make a sudden move or almost get blown off the road by a semi or large gust of wind.

The Equal-i-zer item # EQ64FR includes a 2-1/2" shank which should be what your 2019 F-250 has if you got it from the factory with a hitch. If you have the 3" receiver you can use the Curt Hitch Receiver Reducer Sleeve item # C85JR and not lose any capacity. Also included is a 2-5/16" hitch ball.
