Can You Back Up and Turn With Weight Distribution System Installed on Trailer

Question:

I will be towing a 3,730 pound trailer when loaded. It is 15ft 9 inches long. Will I be able to back up and turn while backing up. If the answer is no what do I have to do to back up and turn. Thank You

With weight distribution systems like the Equal-I-Zer # EQ37040ET that you referenced you can back up and turn slightly but you basically can't jackknife the trailer as it will brake things. If you can imagine how tight of a turn you can get into while going forward that would be the same sharpness you would be limited too when backing up. If for some reason you have to go super sharp you would need to disconnect the sway bars and you can go as tight as you want.
