Economical WD hitch ?

Seems to be some confusion here ... I don't know of any weight distribution systems that have to be unhitched so they won't be damaged before backing up, regardless of the angle. That's not what this is about, rather it's about stand alone friction sway bars used in conjunction with some weight distribution systems that don't offer sway control as a function of it's design. Loosening or removing a friction sway bar can avoid the possibility it may be damaged during acute angle moves, and yes I've personally seen it happen ... this however has nothing to do with weight distribution spring bars which need not be removed at all if you'd prefer not. Common sense still needs to prevail though ... I once did have a friend who backed into his campsite with his Reese Dual Cam engaged and in the process bent the heck out of one of his frame brackets BUT the cause wasn't the angle, it was the DITCH running along the front of his site that caused the truck / trailer combination to dip severely and in doing so place undo force on the one frame bracket.
