Ab harness should work well. I've heard good things.

Get as much drop as you need for the trailer to sit level. I've got a 4" drop recover I think, which my standard 2" drop hitch goes into. You'd probably do well with a 5" drop hitch, but if you can just wait and see how much drop you need compared to the trailer.

You can always get one with an adjustable drop that way you can adjust it after you get the trailer loaded and see how it sits so it can be a bit more level. I have one that I use because I tow different trailers depending on the games and locations. One sits higher than the other so it makes for easy adjusting.

I've also looked at the AB kit or even getting the britpart oem style just for astetics and you can tap it for reverse lights

X2 on adjustable drop. I used the AB wiring kit. Pricey, but dead simple. Would recommend.

This one will handle 5,000lbs and adjust 11 inches down. Also dirt cheap. You still need to get the correct size ball for the trailer.

iv got the HF adjustable hitch, it wobbles a lot, but from all the reviews i read, you can just replace the pins with bolts and all the slack will be gone. deff a cheap and good hitch for the money.

How are the welds on that thing? Even the product image looks a little sketchy. Kinda looks like something my grandfather would've welded up to use back in the mountains.
