Do I Need Cable Extensions for Trailer Safety Chains on 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500
Question:
Will I have the below problem for a 2021 1500 Silverado. Need to replace one of the cables currently on my trailer and get it inspected ASAP Thanks Question: I recently purchased part #DL20119 for my boat trailer and the hooks are too small to fully hook to the hitch and latch. What do you suggest to handle this two 1/2inch threaded quick links fastened to the truck to clip to? Also I have two other trailers with safety chains I need to address the same problem. Please let me know all clevis hooks with latch with removable pin to hook to my chain that you know will fully hook and latch to my truck hitch as is. Ill choose the proper GTW rating for each trailer and make sure the pin will fit through my chain link. Thanks

It does look like the 40" Vinyl Coated Safety Cables with Clevis Hook # DL20119 have an issue fitting the Silverado safety chain loops so I do recommend picking up the Cable Extensions # RM-910648-12 which you can loop through the safety chain connection points and then hook the safety chains to the extensions.
