What Locking Hitch Pin Should I Use for My B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount with 5 Inch Drop
Question:
I recently purchased the B&W trailer receiver with 3 balls and 5 inch drop . What locking system would work best to secure all the pins

B&W recommends using a pin in their Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount with 5 Inch Drop # BWTS10048C that is rated at 10,000 lbs.
The only locking hitch pins that we carry that specify they are rated for 10,000 lbs and will fit the span of the Tow and Stow mount are the Rapid Hitch Trailer Hitch Lock and Adjustment Pin Lock Set # AM3492. You need to order 2 sets of these locking pins in order to lock the hitch balls to the mount and the mount to the shank.The longer pin in the set will be used to secure the multi-ball head to the ball mount bracket. The remaining pins can be used in the shank to secure the multi-ball section the shank and the shank to your vehicle's hitch.
The pins are keyed the same per lock set. Meaning you can use the same key to unlock the pins that came together in the same set, but not one one key to unlock all the pins you will need to secure the ball mount.
I included a picture to show how the pin will look installed on the multi-ball head and bracket.
