Does Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System Allow Backing Up?
Updated 08/19/2020 | Published 08/17/2020 >
Question:
I have to reverse at a tight angle to make it into my driveway and there is a rise to the driveway, making it necessary to keep my weight distribution bars on so I dont bottom out. Will this system allow me to do this without unhooking the bars before backing up?

Yes. The Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control - Clamp On - 10,000 lbs GTW, 1,000 lbs TW # BXW1000 does allow backing up with the spring bars engaged. The turning angle and incline of the driveway won't be an issue as long as the bars have ground clearance for function.
