Recommended Anti-Rattle Device for a 2 Inch Hitch
Question:
Is this the best option for stopping the hitch play for a 4500-5000lb camp trailer? Thanks

No, its not but I have a better option. Instead of the Anti-Rattle Hitch Pin for 2" Trailer Hitches item # SHP2061, I recommend the etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Stabilizer for 2" Hitches item # e99007. This can be used with any 2" ball mount or accessory so long as your hitch has a collar around it for a stabilizer to work. If you're using this on an 2019 F-150 you're good.
It will help greatly with vertical movement caused by bouncing when you hit a pot hole because it tightens the connection between your extender and the hitch itself. The stabilizer is an extremely simple design but is effective. It is a U-bolt and bent plate, and as you tighten the plate to the U-bolt, it stabilizes your extender inside the hitch receiver.
The Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver item # SHP2061 can help with side by side play, but for up-and-down movement it's pretty useless. On top of that you are limited to using hollow mount accessories.
