    I mean, I get it, but also people will get on here and ask to be walked through the process of resetting their trip odometer and how to plug a power cord into the cigarette lighter.

    So questions about trailers aren't exactly my line in the sand for that.

    Fair enough. I suppose I would rather see someone ask questions rather than do something silly on the roadway!

    Alright. Gotta make sure this passes the engineer's standards. 6000 pounds working load, 20k pounds break on each. About the same as the chain itself.

    But at least they aren't twisted anymore. :anonymous:

    Excellent solution!
    Personally, I just use zip ties. If the trailer comes loose it's gonna beat the crap out of the tow vehicle, regardless of chain length.
    Most important is to keep the trailer behind you, dragging or not.
