Assuming that you have chunky alloy dropouts you'll want a 173mm qr to make sure you get plenty of thread for the trailer hitch addition. Shimano do an XT one for not much money. SJS probably sell it as will your LBS, albeit they will have to get one in for you.

Had a spare Hope skewer and modded it for a mate using 5mm stainless studding, a lot of skewers use a similar design with a screw in rod, may be a cheaper option if yours has the same.
