Will Removing A Few Links From Buyers Products 3/8" x 35" Safety Chain Reduce Strength Of Chain?

Question:

If my safety chains are too long and I take 4 or 5 links out, will I take away from what the chain is rated for?

I reached out to my contact at Buyers Products, and on the Buyers Products 3/8" x 35" Class 4 Trailer Safety Chain w/ 1 Clevis Hook - 43 Proof # 337BSC3835 you were looking at removing 3-5 links would not reduce the capacity of the chain.

I included a video of the # 337BSC3835 for you to take a look at.
