Expert Reply:
Yes, the etrailer.com Trailer Tongue Weight Scale part # e99044 will work well to determine the tongue weight of your setup so that you can get a properly rated weight distribution system for your trailer. When choosing a weight distribution system you do want to chose spring bars that have a tongue weight rating that your tongue weight falls in the middle of.
For example, Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control part # EQ37100ET is rated for trailer tongue weights that are between 600 lbs and 1,000 lbs so you would want your loaded trailers tongue weight to fall in that range.
