Locking Hitch Pin Recommendation for Brophy 1-1/4" Drawbar
Question:
The Brophy Drawbar for 1-1/4 Hitch Receiver part # BM96 has a 5-1/2 rise that provides the most level tow for my trailer. It has an anti-rattle bolt instead of a lockable pin. What lockable pin should I purchase to replace the anti-rattle bolt?

Expert Reply:
To replace your anti-rattle hitch bolt you're using with the Brophy Drawbar for 1-1/4" Hitches # BM96 I recommend using the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # e98879. I really like this lock because the barrel threads onto the pin so it's harder to break into, plus the cap does an amazing job at keeping dust out of the mechanism.
If you'd still like to have some anti-rattle integrated into your towing setup then I recommend also using the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch for 1-1/4" Trailer Hitches # RM-061-125. This basically works like a clamping mechanism to help limit up and down movement in the hitch receiver.
I've attached review videos of both products for you to check out.
