Can You Back Up With a Weight Distribution System Connected
Updated 03/03/2016 | Published 03/02/2016 >
Question:
I have a 2004 f250 Ford 4x4 Super Duty Diesel pickup. I just purchased a curt c17062 wt. dist. system w/sway bar. My question is: Can you back up your trailer with the wt. dist. unit on if you remove only the sway bar?

Helpful Expert Reply:
With weight distribution backing up is possible with the system installed, but you will have to make sure you are backing up mainly in a straight line. If there is any chance you could end up with your trailer jackknifed you will want to remove the spring bars.
