I have a solution for you but the Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System item # C17501 is not designed to be used with an underslung coupler.

Instead you will want the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control item # BXW1503. This system has the same capacity but is designed specifically to use on underslung coupler's like your Jayco trailer.

I have linked a review video below.
