Anti-Rattle Recommendation For Weight Distribution Hitch in 2 Inch Hitch Receiver

Updated 11/01/2021 | Published 10/31/2021

Question:

Anti rattle for weight distribution hitches. What are my options? I saw a previous response that linked a 63201 lock but it doesn’t seem to be available anymore. 14k equalizer brand hitch and a 2020 Ford F-150 with factory receiver has more slop than I would like. Thanks

We do have an option for an anti-rattle device that you can use with your weight distribution hitch. The best option is hitch immobilizer from Roadmaster:

- Roadmaster Quiet Hitch for 2" Trailer Hitches # RM-061

The Quiet Hitch # RM-061 is a simple but effective way to minimize the movement that is occurring with your weight distribution hitch. How it works is one part of the clamp goes on the shank of your hitch and the other goes around the collar, and you just tighten the nuts, which stabilizes the shank in the hitch, as you can see in the photo I added (which isn't of a weight distribution shank but will work the exact same way).
