As far as using an anti-rattle device with the 2" Hitch Cap Sensor for GMC Sierra MultiPro and Chevy Silverado Multi-Flex Tailgate # C56UR, it depends on what style of anti-rattle device you have. For example, if you have an anti-rattle hitch pin like the # 63232, these will not interfere with the # C56UR. However, while not specifically tested, if you have a harness-style anti-rattle device like the Pro Series Anti-Rattle Device for 2" x 2" Trailer Hitch Receivers # PS63091, these will... view full answer...
It sounds like you would like to know the difference between an anti-rattle locking pin like part # 63232 and an U-bolt style anti-rattle like part # RM-061 and to be honest they both work well. However, the anti-rattle locking pin does require an accessory with a hollow shank or a ball mount with a hollow shank for the components of the pin to fit inside properly. An anti-rattle locking pin does help take away the rattling you may hear with an accessory or ball mount inside the hitch by... view full answer...
The Trailer Hitch Anti-Rattle Kit, # F-315, is designed for use on 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch accessories that have a hollow shank. The block with nut is placed inside the shank and the nut is aligned with the hitch pin hole. When the threaded hitch pin is then tightened down the shank is drawn to the side of the hitch reducing movement and vibration.
If the shank on your 1-1/4 inch bike rack is not hollow, many are not, this anti-rattle device will not work. The No-Rattle Trailer Hitch... view full answer...
It seems odd, but the reason Kuat recommends using their 1/2 inch pin, # HL2, with their 2 inch bike racks is because a larger pin will interfere with the anti-rattle system in the bike rack's shank.
To eliminate the movement of the pin, you can pull the rack backwards before tightening the anti-rattle system, while the hitch pin is installed, then tighten the anti-rattle knob down. This will sandwich that pin between the rack and the hitch keeping it from rattling around.

Yes, if you use the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock, # S64030, without the security cable the anti-rattle lock will still secure the bike rack in the hitch and keep it from rattling. view full answer...
The Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches # 63232 can help with play, but for up-and-down movement, I think there's a better option, with a dedicated anti-rattle stabilizer:
- Anti-Rattle Hitch Stabilizer for 2" Hitches # e99007
Your hitch will need to have a collar around it for a stabilizer to work, but it will help greatly with vertical movement because it tightens the connection between your extender and the hitch itself. The stabilizer is simple, but highly effective;... view full answer...
Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # 63232 does not have a keyed alike option. If you ordered 2 they may or may not take the same key. None of the anti-rattle hitch locks can be keyed alike but what you could do is use two of hitch lock # e98880, select the keyed alike option, and then use separate anti-rattle devices such as # GY88XR.
The great thing about this anti-rattle device is that once you put it in the right place on your ball mount or other accessory and tighten the set... view full answer...
The anti rattle ring needs to butt up directly against the hitch and the bar butts up to the drawbar. The bolts on the device then need to be tightened down. This keeps the unit in position and working to keep the accessory nice and snug.

Yes, it is perfectly safe to install the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch # RM-061 anti-rattle device either way, with the nuts facing up or down. The only aspect that is critical to the fit of this item on a 2-inch hitch is that the end of the receiver tube must have a reinforcing ring or collar around it for the Quiet Hitch to attach properly.
The linked photo shows you an example of a hitch tube with the collar. view full answer...
I spoke with my contact at Pro Series and he confirmed that on the Pro Series Anti-Rattle Device for 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receivers # 63090 referenced in your question, the bolt can be used on the top, sides or bottom of your receiver.
This anti-rattle device will slide onto the shank of your hitch-mounted accessory and press up against the trailer hitch receiver. The bolt will then be tightened down to minimize rattling and movement inside the receiver. view full answer...
There is no torque spec for the Malone Anti-Rattle HitchLock System part # MPG908. In regards to tightening, you simply need to collapse the split-lock washer and that will be good. view full answer...
I'm assuming you're speaking of an anti-rattle device. Many anti-rattle devices depend on the receiver tube to have a lip around it. The Roadmaster # RM-061 or the Brophy # RSCP are examples of this type.
An anti-rattle device like the # 63232 doesn't depend on the receiver tube having a lip in order to work.
Keep in mind that a dual-hitch adapter like the MaxxTow MT70070 will lower the tongue weight capacity of the hitch its used in by 50 percent. view full answer...
There are not exact torque specs for the other bolts in the Curt 2 Bike Platform Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount - Tilting, part # C18085. I took a look at the installation instructions and like you, I only saw a torque specifications associated with the anti-rattle hitch bolt. If you tighten the other bolts and make sure they are secure, you should be fine. The anti-rattle hitch bolt is the only bolt that interfaces with something other than the rack itself and it is responsible... view full answer...

The curve in the Malone Anti-Rattle HitchLock System part # MPG908 is designed for extra stability to not allow the shank of the accessory to move up and down. It is what holds the shank of accessory tight. I have attached a photo of how this is supposed to be installed between the hitch collar and the shank of the accessory. The curved portion of the Malone Anti-rattle will not touch the hitch. view full answer...

The Swagman Dispatch 2 Bike Platform Rack # S44FR is designed to give extra clearance since the closest part of the rack sits 12" away from your hitch pin hole. To see if you have spare tire clearance, just measure from the center of hitch pin hole to outer edge of spare tire. I attached an article below with instruction for checking clearance. From what I can see though, it looks like it will fit with your 20X10 inch spare,.
