Hey lance,
Yes, the Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control # C17499 does allow for backing up without requiring you to remove the spring bars. What's your trailer's fully loaded tongue weight? I can verify if this is going to be the right fit for your trailer if you can tell me the tongue weight or give me the year/make/model so I can look it up.

Hey Lance, how did things go backing into campsites with the Curt TruTrack system? Your experience could point others toward the best setup for their trailers. Once you have your tongue weight info, I can double-check the fit if you still need that.
