Tab 400 Hitch Lever Width?

Could some kind person measure the width of the Tab 400 Hitch Lever? I am looking to buy a Trimax coupler lock and am uncertain if the 1/2"-7/8" version will work or if the lever is wider than that? I want to order this to have it when I pick up my 400 at the dealer. Next size up is way wider at 3 1/2" of span and if the narrow span one will work I would prefer not to get the wider version. Here is a link to the one I hope will work: https://www.trimaxlocks.com/shop/trailer-and-tow/sxtm31-set-sxt3-5-8-receiver-sxtc1-coupler-lock-7-8-span/

It is 1-1/4” wide where the lock goes through. I put a spare one in so you could see how it would look.
Personally we use the Reese which has a ball that takes up the space inside the receiver preventing someone’s from just taking it away with a smaller ball.

@Awca12a thanks for photo. I use this while towing and of course in storage too, but with addition of a Brama lock on the wheel. For now I decided to forgo the expensive Proven Industries hitch lock while not towing and use the expensive wheel lock and a less expensive hitch lock. Eventually may add the Proven Industries lock.
I have been doing similar with my Wells Cargo for 14 years and never an incident. I like the Trimax stainless hitch and receiver lock sets as they are keyed alike, don't rust and seem to hold up well long term.2019 T@B 400 Boondock Lite
