• Can Locking Pins Be Used With the Sleeve-Lock Trailer Coupler
  The best option we can offer you to secure the Sleeve-Lock Trailer Coupler part # CTA-196 is with a wraparound style trailer coupler lock, the Fastway Universal Trailer Coupler Lock part # FA86-0015-316 is what I recommend. I don't really have any pin locks that could be used with the coupler as most pin locks we offer are made for much larger holes. I understand someone could unbolt the coupler but the odds of them being able to do this are very low.

• Where Does Replacement Spring part # CA-5196-SPR Install on Coupler
  The spring part # CA-5196-SPR that you referenced is the spring of the coupler like part # CTA-196 that pushes the parts of the coupler apart when the sleeve is pulled back. I attached a picture that shows a very similar Bulldog coupler. You can see the spring in the picture. The referenced spring is the same application as what you can see in the picture.

• Coupler Solution for Towing Tall Trailer On Vehicle with Class I Hitch
  If you are willing to replace the coupler of your trailer with a tall channel so that the part # CTA-196 will fit it that would be your best option.
