Rapid Hitch

I just got a rapid hitch setup for my truck. It has a 10" drop...nice hitch. Question: Who manufactures the best lock pins for it. Seems that Andersons lock pins uses only a simple ball bearing to lock it in place. It is really difficult to trust a ball bearing to support the stresses it gets from what I pull. I would expect a pin.

I'm looking for comments and perspectives.

Thanks,

Brad

That's exactly why I went with a diversatech hitch instead of the Anderson rapid hitch. It uses internal locking shafts and doesn't have the extra pins. Here's the info:

Adjustable Hitches - Locking Aluminum Ball Mounts
