Hey Mike, backing up with a Blue Ox weight distribution system like the part # BXW1000 can be done but you have to make sure you are basically only backing up in a straight line with minimal turning as it can damage the spring bars. The limit to how far you can turn would be the same angle you can go when moving forward with the steering wheel turned sharply if that makes sense.

I think you are incorrect. I spoke with Blue Ox tech support and they confirmed that you can back up at an angle up to 65 degrees without disconnecting.
