weight distribution is the big benefit.There are other systems that couple the weight distribution with a hydraulic dampener.
In the end, you still need to be able to turn. If it can turn, then a combination of bad bumps and bad pilot input can get things going.
In the aviation business we call this Pilot Induced Oscillation (PIO).
A seasoned driver can keep things in check. A rookie can fudge it up with the best equipment.
