Hello Daniel,
The only system that we have that works for a wide range of tongue weight is the B&W Continuum Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control for 2" Hitch - 16K GTW, 1.6K TW # BW78FR. This system works all the way from 600-1,600 pound tongue weight, and works on trailer frames 5" or 6". It only comes with a 2 5/16" ball, I would try to get the same size ball coupler on the different trailers you plan on hauling. Something to keep in mind as well, when installed, the lowest point of the system will sit about 9" below your trailer frame. Check your ground clearance to see how much space you'll have with it installed. I have included a an image of the shank dimensions as well.
Any of our other systems would require changing out the ball, and spring bars which is not a quick easy task. If you would like to send me over the loaded tongue weights of the trailers you are looking to tow, I am happy to take a look at what other systems we have that fall in the weight rating. The # BW78FR is going to be the widest range, and the easiest to install. I set up my brother in law with this system and he absolutely loves how easy it is to set up. I have included a review video for you to check out. Please let me know what you think, if this system is not the right one for you, we will find one that will work.
