Yes, you can use both the Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution Systems like part # C17499 and the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Systems like part # EQ37100ET on an enclosed trailer with v-nose. In order to do this however you will need to change up the installation a bit using one of the three options I have outlined for you below.

Please note, the main difference between the TruTrack and Equal-i-zer is that the Equal-i-zer has a forged head and will be more durable than the TruTrack with a cast head but they both have four point sway control.
