Reported tongue weight is 934# - Gross vehicle weight of the trailer is 7934#...

Ideally you want 10-15% of the trailer weight on the tongue - so that's 793# to 1190# - a WDH setup for around 1000# will have you in the neighborhood you want to be in.

I'm thinking a 1000/10,000 Equalizer. Put in your particulars here and it will tell you:

Save yourself the hassel of bars and grease and a wd of over 100lbs . pick up an andersen .it's perfect for your set up . I've been using one with my 2500hd Chevy and XLR 29 Th and works great
