Hitch pin wobble

I got a nice hitch pin that locks. It was hard enough to find one that was long enough for the wider than usual hitch (seems it is double walled around the hitch).
However there is slight gap between the rod of the pin and the hole in the hitch. This makes it bang back and forth, just a bit, during starting and stopping. I am not too worried about it wearing through the pin, doesn't seem to be an issue after a few thousand miles towing. I know there are anti-wobble hitch pins that often screw in or together in some way but ones I've seem before had part of the on vehicle hitch threaded.

Does anyone know of an anti wobble hitch pin, that also locks, and that will fit on the GX 550? Especially with the small gaps on either side.
 
File this under "In case you didn't know". After you remove the ugly cover to get access to the hitch receiver, you can easily pop out the next black trim piece to readily add a larger lockable hitch pin.
