Hey Ted. The etrailer Hitch item # e36ZV requires a 5/8" pin. The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches item # e98880 would be a great option. It will not only work with any ball mount or accessory like a bike rack but it will also secure it from theft.
If you need two or more, you can get the etrailer item # e98880 keyed alike by selecting the Keyed Alike option on the drop down above add to cart. This will give you as many locking hitch pins as you would like to order that can be operated by the same key.
If you have any additional questions, go ahead and click on the box that says Reply to Jerred H and I'll be happy to answer them.
