For your 2016 Evergreen IGO 34 foot travel trailer we can definitely find the right system for you. Based on the information you listed, I have a really clear picture of your needs.
Weight distribution systems are rated based on trailer tongue weight when loaded as well as any cargo behind the rear axle of your truck. This combination gives you the total tongue weight and you ideally want that to fall in the middle of the system's rating.
For your system, I recommend the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control - 12,000 lbs GTW, 1,200 lbs TW # EQ37120ET. This system has 4 point sway control and comes with the hitch ball. This system is rated for 800 to 1200 lbs total tongue weight, so it will work well for your loaded trailer and any cargo you may carry.
I recommend getting the 1-7/8" 12pt Socket - 3/4" Drive - Chromium-Vanadium Steel # ALL643216 over # EQ70-00-4800 to secure your hitch ball in this tight space.
