Expert Reply:
For the tongue weight of 800 lbs that you mentioned the best weight distribution system and sway control we have is the part # RP66074 which has a tongue weight range of 600-1,200 lbs and features the only sway control designed to fight sway before it starts.
Then you could use the shank # C17131 which fits the system and is designed for 2-1/2 inch hitches like what you mentioned.
For a hitch ball you then would want the # 19286.
