Can You Back Up with a Blue Ox Weight Distribution System Installed

Question:

How friendly is this hitch for backing up? if not, what might be in the similar range and able to back up

In general weight distribution systems don't like tight jackknife turns that you can get yourself into when reversing a trailer. The Blue Ox Weight Distribution # BLU45FR that you referenced is no exception to that. If you are backing up mainly in a straight line this system would work great for you.

If you will end up in a tight turn you will need to remove the spring bars.

I attached a link to a help article for weight distribution systems for you to check out as well.
