The Curt Trailer Hitch # C13392 that fits your 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with a standard bumper is absolutely compatible with a weight distribution system and when used with a WDS has a 4,000 lb capacity and 400 lb tongue weight capacity.

We do not have any information about Mopar hitches and their compatibility with weight distribution but the Curt Trailer Hitch # 9883544 is guaranteed to work. In regards to EAZ Lift we do not carry them but the most ideal weight distribution system is going to be one in which your total tongue weight (TTW) is in the middle of the system's tongue weight capacity; TTW is the tongue weight of your loaded '17 Wrangler Unlimited (which you mentioned was 275 lbs) and any cargo behind the rear axle of the Jeep.

For your 275 lb tongue weight I strongly recommend the Equal-i-zer # EQ37060ET because this system - which is rated for 200 lbs to 600 lbs of tongue weight - uses 4 points of sway control via friction in the spring bars to ensure you never have to worry about your trailer swaying. It also uses clamp-on brackets so you won't have to drill along your trailer frame, and allows you to back up with the system on.

Our customers who have used this system regard it very highly, with over 400 reviews it has averaged nearly 5 out of 5 stars, as you can see on the product page. This system comes with everything you need for installation, including a 2" hitch ball, though it is recommended you use thin-walled socket # EQ70-00-4800 to help install the hitch ball.
