Hey Michael, based on what you are looking for and the weight of your enclosed trailer I recommend the "Gold Standard" of weight distribution systems the Equal-i-zer part # EQ64FR which has the correct tongue weight rating and is just the best weight distribution system around. This has 4 points of sway control built into the system as well. This is actually the system that everyone has attempted to copy over the years because of how well it works and how reliable it is. This also comes with a shank for a 2-1/2 inch hitch which I verified is the size hitch you have on your 2025 GMC Sierra 2500. Does your truck sag a bit when towing your trailer?
