XL Silent Hitch Pin DiagramXL Silent Hitch Pin Close Up

Place the block inside your ball mount or hitch accessory, and line up the hole in the block with the pin hole in your ball mount. Slide your ball mount into your hitch and insert the hitch pin. To activate the anti-rattle device, just twist the pin to tighten it down. Doing this will pull the accessory up against the wall of your hitch receiver, thus keeping the accessory from moving around inside your hitch. No more annoying clanking or vibrating.


The 90 degree lock goes on the end of the anti-rattle pin to provide security for your hitch-mounted accessories. It swivels for easy access in tight spaces. Two rubber-coated, stainless steel keys are included with the lock. A sturdy rubber dust cap comes attached to the barrel lock so that you can easily cover the lock cylinder, thus ensuring that no dirt or grime will get in to damage the lock.

  • B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount Fitment on a 2024 GMC Sierra 2500 with MultiPro Tailgate
    Hey JC, thanks for reaching out! The B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount # BWTS20066BMP is definitely compatible with the MultiPro tailgate on your 2024 GMC Sierra 2500, but the only one available to fit exactly with a 2-1/2" hitch receiver is the one I mentioned above which has a 7" rise/drop. Since you need less than this it will work out just fine for your towing application. Then for an anti-rattle pin I recommend the XL Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # SHP2040-XL because it gets...

  • Will etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar Fit etrailer Magnetic Reducer Sleeve
    Hi Spike; great question! Unfortunately, the face of the # e28JR is too wide for the etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar # e38FV to fit. What kind of accessory are you trying to use? If it has a hollow shank like the B&W Tow & Stow # BWTS10048B a better solution would be an anti-rattle hitch pin like the # SHP2040-XL.

  • Can The Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack Be Used On a Class V, 2-1/2 Receiver?
    The Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack # TH903202 will only fit a 1-1/4" or 2" receiver directly. You can use a Brophy Hitch Reducer and Extender # HR26 that will allow for the stinger to fit on your vehicle. The stinger that holds the rack into the receiver will not work on a 2-1/2" or 3" receiver. The Curt Anti-Rattle Hitch Clamp # C87UR will take the rattle out of the extender and allow for the entire bike rack to be solid as it has its own built in anti-rattle for the 2" or 1-1/4" receivers....

  • Is The Anti-Rattle Receiver Lock SHP2040-XL Compatible With Weigh Safe Ball Mount WS68RR
    Hello Justin, thanks for reaching out. The XL Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # SHP2040-XL is NOT compatible with the Weigh Safe Hitch w/ Built-In Scale # WS68RR. The receiver lock requires a hollow shank and the shank of the Weigh Safe ball mount is solid, so there would be no way to use the lock. You will want to use the receiver lock that comes with the ball mount. If you wish to add an anti-rattle device, the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch for 2-1/2" Trailer Hitches # RM-062 is what...

  • What Is A Good Adapter To Go From My 2 1/2 Hitch To A 2 Inch?
    Hey Michael, Most of our adapters to go from a 2-1/2" hitch to a 2" are going to be what you see out there or most likely have. Typically what I recommend is going with the reducer sleeve # e26YR. That is going to go down to the 2" that you need. You can then pair that with the anti-rattle trailer hitch lock # SHP2040-XL. That is going to allow you to lock it, as well as offer an anti-rattle feature to reduce any play or movement with the adapter in place. Is the current adapter you...

  • Anti-Rattle for B&W Tow & Stow
    Hey Justin! The best anti-rattle for a 2-1/2" B&W Tow & Stow like # BWTS20066BMP is the XL Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # SHP2040-XL. The ball mount has a hollow shank which allows for the use of this anti-rattle style. It is also a locking hitch pin so it will help keep the Tow & Stow secure.

  • Recommended Anti-Rattle Device for a B&W Tow & Stow That Works w/ the GM MultiPro Tailgate
    Hey Mike. We have an anti-rattle device that works really well with a B&W Tow & Stow that is compatible with a GM MultiPro Tailgate like item # BWTS20066BMP. It's not a clamp on style though. It's the XL Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2-1/2" Hitches item # SHP2040-XL. The XL Anti-Rattle item # SHP2040-XL uses a threaded insert that will go inside the shank of your B&W ball mount. Tightening the pin into the threaded insert will help to eliminate unwanted rattle in the hitch....

    Hey Greg, thanks for reaching out! I'm not sure what exact video you're talking about, but I definitely get where you're coming from for the Weigh Safe Hitch w/ Built-In Scale for 2.5" Hitch # WS88RR. You can use the XL Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2-1/2" Hitches # SHP2040-XL to keep the shank from moving around too much, but there aren't any anti-rattle devices for the platform part of the ball mount system. The hitch ball itself shouldn't have movement in it, but over...

    Hey John. The XL Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2-1/2" Hitches item # SHP2040-XL fits the wide factory 2" Toyota hitch receivers. We've actually had a customer use this anti-rattle lock on a 2024 Tundra and I have attached a picture below from the review they sent in. Please note that this anti-rattle lock can only be used with hollow-shank ball mounts like item # BWTS10038B and hitch accessories. What are you using your hitch for?

  • Recommended Anti-Rattle Device for BulletProof Hitches 2-Ball Mount for 2-1/2" Hitch
    To secure your BulletProof Hitches 2-Ball Mount for 2-1/2" Hitch # MD254 I recommend the XL Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # SHP2040-XL. This not only stabilizes the ball mount in the hitch receiver, but it also provides a locking hitch pin to help deter theft.

  • Anti Rattle Device To Use With B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount Compatible With GM MultiPro Tailgate
    We do have a potential option for you, but the Curt Anti-Rattle Hitch Clamp # C87UR is likely not going to work with your setup. I think you are exactly right in that there is really no room between the receiver and the hitch. So there is really nowhere for the Anti-Rattle Clamp to go. If you are in need of an anti-rattle device that will work with the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount Compatible with GM MultiPro Tailgate I recommend the XL Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # SHP2040-XL....

  • How to Stabilize Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier for 2-1/2" Hitch Receivers
    Absolutely! I have 2 different recommendations to keep the Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier w/ 2" Receiver Opening - 2-1/2" Hitches # RM95MR stabilized during travel, and it just depends on what exactly you're looking for. If you don't have a hitch pin yet then I recommend going with the XL Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # SHP2040-XL which not only keeps the carrier stabilized but it gives you a lock so you have peace of mind with the carrier as well.

  • Can The etrailer Anti-Rattle Clamp Be Used For 2016 Toyota Tundra With Double Wall Receiver Tube?
    Hey Nickolas, that's a good question, and unfortunately the thicker double walled receiver tube on your 2016 Tundra is not going to work with the etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar for 2" Hitches # e38FV. This is only confirmed to fit standard 2" receivers. In your case, your best bet is to use the XL Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2-1/2" Hitches - 3-1/2" Span # SHP2040-XL which is a different style since it is a pin and not a clamp, but it will still get the job done to reduce...

  • Locking Anti-Rattle for Blue Ox Adjustable Ball Mount with Clamshell for 2-1/2" Hitch
    Yes! To add both anti-rattle and a lock to the Blue Ox Adjustable Ball Mount with Clamshell for 2-1/2" Hitch # BLU79XR you need the XL Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2-1/2" Hitches # SHP2040-XL. This has a block insert with a threaded center that's used for the anti-rattle part so it only works with ball mounts that have a hollow shank like what we find with this ball mount.

  • Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock Compatible with B&W Tow & Stow 2-1/2" Ball Mount
    With the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount # BW54FR all the pin points allow for some movement and as you use the mount the paint inside the components will wear away and cause for additional movement over time. We do have the XL Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # SHP2040-XL which will help eliminate the play between the receiver on your 2018 Ram 2500 and the ball mount. This will not eliminate all the play in the ball mount since it does have the additional pins.

  • Swing Away Hitch Bike Carrier Setup for 2017 Ford F-250 with Truck Camper
    Using a 2-1/2-inch to 2-inch hitch reducer sleeve like # C45405, # BWRHXA2182 or # DTADP35 will allow a 2-inch accessory to fit in your 2-1/2-inch hitch but these Thule and Yakima bike racks you mentioned include their own anti-rattle locks that will not fit the 2-1/2-inch hitch tube. There is another solution to give you the swing-away feature you need for camper access. You would still use one of the reducer sleeves above (or one of the others on the linked page) and add the Yakima...

  • Anti-Rattle and Locking Pin Recommendation for Class IV and Class V Hitches
    Hey Dave, thanks for reaching out! The best option for you is the XL Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2-1/2" Hitches # SHP2040-XL which can work both with 2" and 2-1/2" hitch receivers, but it does require that your accessories have a hollow shank. Class V hitches can be 2-1/2" or 3" so that's another factor that needs to be taken into account. If you have a 3" receiver and a 2" receiver then you'll simply have to get combinations for both sizes like the InfiniteRule Hitch...

  • Anti-Rattle Device for a 2-1/2 Inch Trailer Hitch on a 2009 Chevy Silverado 2500
    The Roadmaster Quiet Hitch, # RM-062, does fit 2-1/2 inch receivers like the one on your 2009 Chevy Silverado 2500 but it is made for flat towing only (towing a vehicle behind a motor home) and is not rated for towing. Towing a trailer produces more tongue weight than flat towing a vehicle and this device is not rated for the additional stress. Other customers have used the Blue Ox Hitch Immobilizer, # BX88225, which stops rattle horizontally and vertically. Or you could get a lock and...

  • Maximum Weight Capacity of XL Anti-Rattle Hitch Pin # SHP2040-XL
    The anti-rattle hitch lock you referenced, part # SHP2040-XL does not carry a weight rating, but it is only compatible with ball mounts that have hollow shanks. Ball mounts with hollow shanks usually have a maximum capacity of 7500 lbs, so 7500 lbs would be effective max capacity of the locking hitch pin, since you'll be limited by the capacity of the lowest rated component of your towing system.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Anti-Rattle Device for a 3" Receiver
    The XL Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # SHP2040-XL has an inside pin length of 3-7/8". While it was designed to be used with 2-1/2" receivers you can also use it with 3" receivers that meet the 3-7/8" overall width requirements. The hitch must have a hollow shank for the anti-rattle device. Otherwise we have the Blue Ox Hitch Receiver Immobilizer for 3" Hitches # BLU85QR that can be used with a solid shank hitch.

  • Anti-Rattle Device to Use with Rock Tamers on a 2016 Chevy Silverado 3500
    Blue Ox Hitch Receiver Immobilizer II - 2-1/2" Hitches Item # BX88225 would not work with your Rock Tamers because it needs some of the same space occupied by the Rock Tamer mounting bracket. If you are using a hollow shank ball mount, I recommend using XL Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2-1/2" Hitches - 3-1/2" Span # SHP2040 to reduce movement. If it is a solid shank, then I recommend Gen-Y Anti-Rattle Clamp for 2" Hitch Receivers # GY88XR which wedges itself between the ball...
