Hi Christopher; the design of the etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar # e38FV can't handle the forces a weight distribution hitch (WDH) applies when it is engaged. You can actually have it on your receiver while using a WDH, but you can't engage the anti-rattle feature. If you are looking for an anti-rattle that is capable of handling a WDH I recommend the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch for 2" Trailer Hitches # RM-061.

Hey Christopher, did the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch work out for you with your weight distribution hitch? I'm asking because your experience could help others who are considering similar setups.
