Question:
looking for the correct Andersen hitch for a Lance Evolve trailer that has a gross weight of 7,000 lbs

Hey Morgan,
For your 7,000lb Lance Evolve trailer, I suggest using the Andersen Weight Distribution Hitch w/Sway Control with 4" Drop/Rise part # AN88VR or the Andersen Weight Distribution Hitch w/Sway Control with 6" Drop/Rise part # AN28VR. The Andersen Weight Distribution Hitch part # AN3350 you were looking at is rated too highly for the weight of your trailer. Because it's rated for trailers that weigh up to 14,000lbs, it would have a harsher ride with your lighter trailer because its components are intended for much higher weights. The lighter rated 10,000lb systems will perform better as they're closer to your Lance Evolve trailer's weight. Before choosing which hitch fits your set up best, you'll want to measure to see how much drop or rise you'll need for it to work with your tow vehicle and trailer.
Are you wanting a weight distribution hitch for sway control or for sag?
