Recommended Hitch Stabilizer For Hollywood Racks Trailer Rider HR200Z Used In 2" Trailer Hitch

Question:

If you look at the picture, I have a 2inch receiver, and an HR200Z bike rack ed into it. The 2 inch to 1-1/4inch adapter that comes with the bike rack goes completely inside of the receiver tube, and it seems to be a sturdy device. Is there a quiet hitch or hitch stabilizer that would work in this situation since it goes down directly from the 2inch opening to the 1-1/4inch tube on the bike rack, or is it not needed?

I have another option for you, but since the 1-1/4" to 2" adapter included with your Hollywood Racks Trail Rider Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # HR200Z is inside of the receiver the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch # RM-061-125 will not work.

Since your bike rack includes an anti rattle hitch pin you do not need an additional stabilizer, but if you would like extra stability you will want to go with the Curt Stabilization Strap # 18050. This will get wrapped around your bike rack and then looped down to the safety chain loops on the hitch to keep the rack from moving around.

I included a video of the # 18050 for you to take a look at.
