Expert Reply:
For your aluminum enclosed trailer weighing 2,800 lbs I recommend the Rack'em Trailer Dolly # RA20. This tow dolly is capable of handling up to 500 lbs of tongue weight. Tongue weight is typically 10-15% of your trailer weight so you are looking at 280-420 lbs so you won't have any issues. This tow dolly has an adjustable height ranging from 16-19".
The bars on your Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System like the # EQ37100ET should not be an issue when using a dolly. There would be no reason or advantage to attempt to keep the bars in place while moving your trailer with the dolly, and the brackets on your trailer frame will not interfere.
I have attached a review video for your reference.
