I have another option for you, but Malone does not make an anti-rattle hitch lock for 1-1/4" trailer hitch receivers.

Instead I recommend the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch for 1-1/4" Trailer Hitches # RM-061-125 which will keep the accessories in your 1-1/4" receiver from rattling while you are driving.

I included a video of the # RM-061-125 being installed for you to take a look at.
