Good weight distribution set up
I'll be towing a Jayflight slx 294 qbsw. Dry hitch weight is 780, trailer dry is 6480, Gvw is 8250. I want something a little bigger just so I won't need to buy another one if we ever get bigger trail...

I believe you will be very happy with your choice. I have an Equalizer 10k for our 2017 Jayco 28RLS. Works great and rides nice. While lubing the socket pivot points after tightening the socket bolts to 65ft/lbs as per the owner's manual, I break all the rules of planetary alignment and smear a dab of grease on the L bracket surfaces as well. This works well for me in keeping it smooth and quiet while still offering me enough control to eliminate waggle from passing trucks. The right thing to do would be to install Bracket Jackets but I prefer a dab of grease. Others may need the full friction of dry L brackets as is recommended in the owner's manual.
Hannibal, I do the same with my setup. Read on the manufacturers page that this is OK as long as you do it, "lightly".
I have the 1000/10K set up for my trailer. I run down the road right at 6500 but my TW is pushing 900 pounds. I have dialed it in lightly to get the combination level and lube up the head and the L brackets. Mine makes no noise.
With that much tongue weight, you probably don't have any trailer induced sway. Glad it works for you as well. The only regret I have with the Equalizer is that I didn't buy one sooner.
