Required in most states, a safety chain acts as a backup if your trailer becomes disconnected from your tow vehicle. Attach the end link of this zinc-coated steel chain to your gooseneck coupler, and then hook the clevis hooks to loops in truck bed.
Features:
Specs:
As shown in the illustration above, locate your safety chain mounting lugs on the rear underside of your Goose Box. Install the flat washer onto the bolt and put bolt and washer through the last link in the safety chain. Next, position bolt, washer, and chain assembly through the hole in the mounting lug, and secure with 1/2" nut and lock washer. Bolt should be torqued to 110 ft. lbs. Repeat the process for the other chain.

Every time I order a product, if it's not immediately available or there's a better option, one of the representatives personally emails me with options. Fantastic customer service!
Good quality product- highly recommended for use with the Reese Goosebox 16k

Good as new, one year later. No Rust or corrosion, High Quality Safety chains. Good purchase
its a gamechanger to have this installed on my boat trailer. no longer need to step over trailer tougue in garage.
I ordered these safety chains to go with the 16k Goosebox. They fit perfect, length is good. I did modify the chains with hooks on both ends. This saves from being in the bed of my pickup during coupling or un-coupling hitch. See the pics. Turned out nice, I got lots of compliments on our first trip out with the new setup.
I ordered the safety chains to work with my 20k Reese goosebox and my B&E goose ball. The hooks fit perfect on the B&W chain supports and all the necessary hardware was included.
Great experience and love my B&W Ball and Chain Gooseneck Hitch. As smooth as a ride you can get pulling a 43' 5th wheel camper and easy to connect to the ball.
Cheerful help at eTrailer evolved into an enjoyable, easy to use vehicle - body-less Model A Ford - hold down system. We use this on the Forest Roads of Idaho.
Great products accompanied with many ways to solve a problem.
stress free towing with the Reese goose box. Towing is a breeze and you rest easy knowing that it is hitched. the air ride smooths out the ride.
Lori with trailer was excellent to work with. She made sure I had the correct pinbox and kept me informed.
Had everything I needed to install. I got an old trailer that didn't have any safety chains and this had everything I needed. Was plenty long allowing me to adjust to the length I needed.
Great quality safety chains. Highly rec ommend.
These safety chains are solid as a rock. They were purchased to go with the Reese Elite Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Accessory Kit. The clasps on the chains are extremely difficult to get to snap closed using the safety chain attachments which come with the kit. Difficult but not impossible - more annoyance than problem. Overall, I hope these chains are absolutely never required; but, if they are, I'm confident they will work perfectly.

all is well. The clasps on the chains have eased up a bit and are not nearly so hard to put on as they were at first. They are holding up very well!
These were installed as safety chains on a fifth wheel travel trailer. They were easily installed and appear to be very robust. They have been used multiple times with no issues and I heartily recommend them for anyone needing such a product. Fortunately they have not been needed for their intended purpose!

Excellent, high quality addition
This is one of those purchases where you have absolutely no regrets. These safety chains are exactly what I was looking for and for a great price. They are much longer than I needed which is great because you can customize them to suit your needs. I did a lot of research before making this purchase. The safety latch provides a worry free installation. I could not recommend this product more.

So, its been well over a year since I purchased my safety chains. My chains look the same as when I first put them on my trailer. They function perfectly as well. I never cut my chain. I used a quick link to tie back any extra length of chain. This way I can keep the chain whole in case I ever need it for a different truck or trailer.
Very easy to attach to trailer. Hooks are a little bit large, making them somewhat difficult to attach to my truck, but they do work as advertised. I haven't had to test them yet by having the trailer break loose, but really I don't want to.

Until Covid curtailed my RVing, the chains performed perfectly. I got a small collapsible step which made it much easier to hook up. Hopefully when all the restrictions are lifted Ill be able to go back to RVing and get more experience with them.
Overkilling maybe but why not. Chains look super duty to go along with my Demco 5th wheel hitch. Thanks

Ive never used chains before on prior 5th wheels but this time I did. These are perfect, chain length great for my hooks from goose neck plate and gives me a sense of more safety and security.
Haven't actually towed with these but will be next week. So far they look and feel very solid and capable. Long enough for the gooseneck with room to spare and they feel like that trailer isn't going anywhere if there is a fubar. Hopefully these will last (rusting) as long as I hope. For the price, very happy.

These have been working great. No rust and handle everything thrown at them in all conditions.
The first order of the chains was lost by UPS. Carol at e trailer got on the case and UPS confirmed it was lost in space. Carol got another order right and received. Great job.
The chains are a great replacement for my rusted old chains.
Strong, heavy, durable. Gives me extra confidence pulling a fifth wheel with a ball-style (Anderson) hitch. Safety chains aren't normally used when securing a kingpin fifth wheel hitch, but they're used with gooseneck hitches. I never understood why, but since my connections to the truck are by a ball-style (like a gooseneck or a bumper pull) hitch, I thought it wise to have safety chains too.
etrailer was easy to work with, super fast shipping, accurate order processing, and great products. Thanks. Looking forward to my next order. etrailer got my truck ready for our RV adventures.
They work as they should
Nice chains with all the correct hardware for installation..
Product is great! Wish it would have come included with my Reese Goosebox instead of as an extra option. I had no problems installing them. They were backordered for about three weeks, but they were worth waiting for. The staff at etrailer.com offered me alternative safety chains if I didn't want to wait. They were very good at keeping me informed when they would be available for shipping. Thanks!
Great safety chains. no rust, the finish is lasting.

These safety chains will last for ever.
I need the peace of mind that these chains provide. My previous chains purchased from an auto store bent at the S and I lost a trailer!! Yes I over-specified by buying these chains from etrailer, but now I sleep at night. You don't want the nightmare of losing your trailer on the road from a double fault from crappy safety chains.
I ordered the safety chains to go along with a new goose box, we ordered. They were exactly what we needed, heavy duty, safety hooks, even came with mounting bolts. Better than advertised.
Customer Service awesome.

My only suggestion on this product, or any safety chain, is make the connecting link that connects to the trailer bigger in circumference so the connection bolts will pass through. Had to go to a local hardware store to Jerry fit something that would work and accomodations the stock bolts.
