Hey Jim, for that weight trailer and your 2004 Ford F-250 I would recommend the Equal-i-zer kit part # EQ37140ET which has a tongue weight range of 1,100 lb to 1,400 lb and is widely considered the best WD and sway control around so this will work really well for you.

Hey Jim, how did the Equal-i-zer weight distribution hitch work out with your F-250 and 11k trailer? It’d be great to hear how the sway control performed on the road. Your update could make it easier for others towing similar setups.
