Any Large Span Locking Hitch Pins?
I need a 5/8" locking hitch pin with a greater span than the traditional 3-5/8" to use as one of the two pins for the adjustable ball on the hitch below. It's quite evident without a locking pin the ball assy. or even worse trailer can be stolen by simply knocking out the 2 ball pins. I've been unsuccessful locating a locking pin with greater than the span noted above. Anyone know of a source?
My other option would be to have a machine shop turn down the dead end of mine but I'm probably looking at least $30 to do so.

Greater than 3-5/8 as that's the largest I'm able to find. 3-3/4+ will get it done.

I wound up getting the opposite of the lock end turned down at a machine shop on the style below.
