A good option for a safety chain for use with Titan Hitch Box Extension # RP45018 is the Laclede Chain Safety Chains and Cables, part # 2118-348-04. These offer a minimum breaking strength of 5000-lbs and are USA-made.

I'm assuming your 2024 F-250 has the 6-3/4' bed. If that is correct, the right tie-downs are in fact the #TLF3008 and #TL77CR. TorkLift has accounted for the bed access steps on the 2024 model and confirmed these will fit your truck.
