Question:
I have the 2024 Ember 240 tkr. It has a tool/LP box on the tongue which uses up most of the tongue space for a sway bar system . Will this Curt set up work for me?

Hello Alexa, thanks for reaching out. Hard to say for sure without looking at the trailer tongue. The frame brackets for the Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System # C17501 must be placed about 30" back from the center of the hitch ball so you can measure out the tongue and see if there is open space in this location. If most of the tongue is taken up by the toolbox, you probably would not have room but please verify.
With those bigger toolboxes, sometimes you can have risers welded to the bottom with cutouts for the WD frame brackets.
There are other options for sway control like the electronic Curt True Course # C94VV, or a Curt Friction Sway Control # 17200.
