I too have a bulletproof hitch and it is very nice👍🏻

I paid $50 for the Bulletproof locking straight hitch pin… saying that, is the Bulletproof hitches really that much better than the B&W hitches?

I’ll be buying a new Anderson WDH once my truck gets here since it will have the 3” receiver and I’m on the fence about getting another hitch since the Anderson can be used as a normal hitch as long as the ball is the needed size. So I may have to get another hitch… I was going back and forth between the bulletproof and the B&W. They both seem to get great reviews but the B&W is a bit less expensive. Just wondering if the Bulletproof has added benefits over the B&W?

For $17 I decided to give this thing a shot when pulling my boat, and son of a gun, it actually worked. No more slop or banging in stop and go.

I have run a curt 2 inch 14K reduced from 3 inch with 2 spacers and now a curt 2.5 inch reduced from 3. Neither have had slop.

I suspect the issue isn’t that the hole is too big but your shaft is both too short and too narrow, I have used my old aluminum Anderson and it was sloppy.

I use a similar one that seems to be more heavy duty:
