There sure is Chris. To replace your Reese 4K Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution System, I recommend the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution w/ 4-Point Sway Control item # EQ90-00-0400. This system has the same 400 lbs tongue weight and 4,000 lbs towing capacity as your Reese so it'll work great with your Scamp trailer.

The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution w/ 4-Point Sway Control item # EQ90-00-0400 has built in sway control that will keep your trailer in line when you're going down the highway and make a sudden lane change or get passed by a semi. It's really helpful when you get sideswiped by a gust of wind too. This system includes a 2" shank.

This system does not include a hitch ball. Depending on your coupler size you will either need a 2" Hitch Ball item # 40083 or a 2-5/16" hitch ball item # C40007. You could also just reuse the hitch ball on your Reese system because it will work on the Equal-i-zer head.
