I got a bow shackle and put in on my receiver. It bounces around and makes all kind of noise. Do I need a different bow shackle or can I use washers or something to stop the noise?

people steal them...take it off

put it in a secure box in the truck till you go wheeling

then the sound won't bother you

Don't leave it in there or someone will steal it. Yes, get some spacers or washers, work just fine.

Try wrapping one layer of electrical tape on the arm of the shackle. Works for me...

I tried to find a hitch pin lock but, so far, none have a shaft long enough to compensate for the sloping box above the square tube of the hitch.
Has anyone found a lock which will work... so I can leave my shackle or hitch light in the tube and slow down thieves.

To quote someone else "locks only keep out honest people."
