Expert Answers about Trailer Safety Chains
- Is There a Bolt On Bracket For Safety Chains on a Trailer
- I may have a solution for you but I'm not aware of a bolt on safety chain bracket or clevis that can be used. However you can simply take a safety chain set (or your existing chains) like the 42" Long Safety Chain with 3/8" Clevis Hook (15,000 lbs) # 337BSC3842 and use a grade 8 bolt to attach the chains directly to the trailer with a washer holding the bolt through the last chain link. I've linked some photos that show how to make this work for you but that would be my suggestion if you're...

- The chain links on safety chain # 1483-535-04 are 3/8 of an inch in diameter. This chain has a 5,400 lbs. Working Load Limit. For a quick link use # 6590-044-04. Its working load limit is 2,200 pounds. Since the safety chain is rated higher using a 3/8 inch quick link will reduce the capacity.

- We do offer a Wiring and Safety Chain Extension Adapter Kit # PR34QR that we recommend with our ProPride hitches due to the length of the hitch. This includes safety chain extensions, a 7-way extension and extension cable for the trailer breakaway system. Be sure to verify that your 7-way and breakaway cable are not also to short as this may solve all those issues.

- I recommend upgrading both the chains and hooks on your trailer, like # 49150.
Without knowing the capacity of your current chains, picking a replacement hook with the matching weight capacity will be impossible. Replacing the whole chains set will be the best option.
I have attached a link that will take you to our safety chain product page. Once you know what weigh capacity chain and hook you are needing for your horse trailer you can choose one from this page.

- We do indeed offer safety chain loops that will mount into the factory pucks sunk into the bed of your 2016 Ram 3500. They're included in the Curt # C60618 Gooseneck Ball/Safety Chain Loop kit.

view full answer... - Do 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches have Safety Devices
- It depends on what you mean by safety devices as well as the hitch you are using. Some hitches have an indicator in the back that will show you if the hitch is locked around the trailer king pin. Others will have a pin that keeps the handle from pulling out. Hitch # C16140 has both features and the most secure dual serrated jaw you can get.
5th Wheel hitches and trailers do not require safety chains. The rule for chains is if the trailer couples to a ball of some sort like a bumper pull...

view full answer... - Is There a Steel Version Of The Andersen Ultimate 5TH Wheel Hitch That Fits 2018 Ram 2500 Prep/Pucks
- The Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch System with Adapter # AM3200 has a steel construction. Unlike the gooseneck connected systems that are made of aluminum this adapter is designed to drop into 5th wheel rails. Since your 2018 Ram 2500 has the factory prep/puck system a Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter # DM6099 will fit into either the 6-1/2" or 8' bed length mounts. This will allow you to use the Andersen hitch.
Since the Andersen hitch makes your trailer connection...

The chains are sold individually, so you'd need to order two of them. To find cables of the right length and capacity, you might try doing a Google search.
