Hitch Pin & R-Clip

Secure your ball mount, bike rack, or cargo carrier with this Bent Hitch Pin and R-Clip. The 5/8" black powder-coated pin slides easily into any standard 2" receiver, and the zinc-plated R-clip keeps it from bouncing out on rough roads.

The L-shaped bent end makes the pin easy to grip and pull, and prevents it from sliding through the receiver. Installation takes seconds — no tools required. The black powder coat resists rust, and the galvanized clip stays strong through years of use.

What You Get:

1 x Black bent L-shaped hitch pin (5/8" diameter)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Will this fit my receiver?

A: This pin has a 5/8" diameter and fits any standard 2" x 2" receiver. Measure your receiver hole before ordering.

Q: How do I install it?

A: Slide the bent pin through your receiver and ball mount hole. Then slip the R-clip through the hole at the end of the pin — done. No tools required.

Q: What is the R-clip for?

A: The R-clip (hairpin clip) slides through the hole at the end of the pin to prevent it from sliding out during travel. It grips the pin tightly so it does not bounce loose.

Q: Can I use this with a bike rack or cargo carrier?

A: Yes. Any accessory that slides into a 2" receiver — ball mounts, bike racks, cargo carriers, step bumpers — can be secured with this pin and clip.

Q: Is this the same as a hitch lock?

A: No. This pin and clip keeps your accessory from sliding out, but it is not lockable. For anti-theft security, use a hitch lock (key-operated pin) instead of or in addition to this pin.

Q: Will it rust?

A: The pin has a black powder coat and the clip is zinc-plated, both corrosion-resistant. Rinse off road salt in winter.

Q: What length is the pin?

A: See the Specifications table for exact length. The bent pin is sized to fit standard 2" receiver tubes with typical ball mount thickness. If you have an extra-thick mount, measure before ordering.

Q: Do I need tools?

A: No tools needed. Hand-install only.

Q: What is your return policy?

A: Unused products in original packaging can be returned within [30 days] of delivery.
