What hitch do you have? Maybe the tolerances of one or the other is not quite up to snuff? Anything loose?

When I moved to the HD truck I did have problems with movement in the receiver due to the adapter from 2 1/2 to 2". I solved it with a hitch clamp device but not like yours.

2" factory class IV hitch. I have various hitches and they all move around inside the receiver about the same amount. There is a very small amount of tolerance around the receiver. Not a real problem with any of them except my WDH. Being much longer, the side to side movement is significant.
