Both the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37100ET and the Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System # C17500 are compatible with underslung trailer couplers. I have contacted both manufacturers and received confirmation of this. Both options do allow you to back up without disconnecting anything as well.

In this case I recommend going with the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37100ET since it has the greater Tongue Weight (TW) capacity range of 600 lbs - 1,000 lbs as opposed to the Curt # C17500 range of 800 lbs - 1,000 lbs.

Keep in mind that when choosing a Weight Distribution (WD) system you will want to choose one that has a TW range that your Total Tongue Weight (TTW) falls in the middle of. You can find your TTW by adding the TW of your fully loaded and ready-to-go trailer along with the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle. Keep in mind that the TW of a properly loaded trailer will be 10-15% of the weight of the loaded trailer.
