There are a couple of different ways you can lock the Curt QuickPin No-Latch Trailer Coupler for 2" Ball, either with a standard coupler lock, or you can use a 1/2 inch diameter hitch pin lock, since that is the same size as the pin and clip (though you should always use the pin and clip that come with the coupler when towing and not a lock).

So to lock it you can use any of the following options, depending on what you prefer:

- etrailer Trailer Coupler Lock for Flat Lip 1-7/8" and 2" Ball Couplers - Yellow # e98895 or Silver # e98893

- Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # 5200

That said, just to be thorough, I did want to mention there are different QuickPin couplers for different trailer tongue/channel sizes, so you can make sure you're ordering the correct one.

- 2" Trailer Tongue: Curt QuickPin No-Latch Trailer Coupler for 2" Ball # C82CR

- 2-1/2" Trailer Tongue: Curt QuickPin No-Latch Trailer Coupler for 2" Ball # C22CR

- 3" Trailer Tongue: Curt QuickPin No-Latch Trailer Coupler for 2" Ball # C54UR

Hi Ed, If I'm understanding you correctly your trailer's frame is 3" wide and the coupler needs to have a 2" ball. If so the Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler #DM15000-52 you were looking at would be a compatible fit. I've…

Hi Ed, Yes, the pin #C87ER included with the Curt QuickPin No-Latch Trailer Coupler for 2" Ball #C82CR is 1/2" diameter so you could use a locking hitch pin lock like the Curt #C23517. This locking hitch pin is 1/2" in diameter with a…

Answer 3

Demco unfortunately doesn't have an EZ-latch coupler for a 2" wide channel so you're left with three options: etrailer #CT-3001-Z (3-1/16 bolt hole spacing) Curt #C82CR (3" bolt hole spacing) Dutton-Lainson #DL13835 (3" hole…

For easy operation I really like the Demco Couplers part #DM15000-52 that have the eZ latch system. It'll work for a very long time and won't get difficult to operate. This is confirmed to fit 3 inch frame channel and on 2 inch hitch balls as…

The Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control #RP66559 is an excellent option for your application! This has a tongue weight range of 500 lbs - 1,000 lbs so as long as you don't have more than 235 lbs sitting behind the rear…

Not at all! The Ball Mount 3/4" Rise or 2" Drop - 12-5/8" Long #D-26 is rated for 750 lbs tongue weight and 7,500 lbs towing so you just need to keep from exceeding the lower rated component, whether that's your trailer hitch…

Answer 8

Hitch extenders like the etrailer part #e88YR reduce hitch capacity for two reasons. One is the length like you mentioned and the other is amount of additional movement that they introduce to the hitch setup which puts quite a bit of stress on the…

Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler #CT-3001-Z requires a 2 inch wide tongue but I recommend a boxed tongue and not C-channel so there is more support where it counts. Steel tubing at least 1/8 of an inch of wall thickness will do the trick. The length…

Regardless of the axle diameter, generally most modern double-eye springs are 1-3/4 inches wide. U-bolt plate #115983 works with u-bolts #SP01-120 which have a 1-1/2 inch width to fit around the axle. The u-bolt plate will set below the the leaf…

I recommend #20545I-EZ-60-10 Dexter Idler Trailer Axle w/ Hubs - EZ-Lube - 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern - 60" Long - 2,200 lbs. I like this axle because of the EZ-Lube simple lubrication. You will also want to pick up a U-Bolt Kit #APUBR-10 for…
