For a safety chain that will be sufficient for most gooseneck trailers I really like the Fulton Safety Chain with Clevis Hook part # FCHA0050324. This safety chain has a grade 70 rating with large clevis hook. You will need two of them for your trailer. The end opposite of the clevis hook will attach to the nose of a trailer via a bolt and the clevis hook will attach to the gooseneck hitch you have in your truck bed. Almost all gooseneck hitches will have a set of holes that can be used to attach u-bolts to which will then be used to secure the clevis hook but if not you may need to drill your own holes and add the u-bolts with part # BW1900-2-1600.
