What 3/4 Inch D-Rings do You Recommend for Using Chain Binders on My Trailer?
Question:
Hi there, what is the best product/piece to reduce the size of my 1/2 d rings on my trailer. I would like to hook my 3/8 binders to the d rings but of course currently, the sizes do not match. Shackle ? Quick link ? What is the legal way to do this.

I believe you are talking about reducing the thickness of your D-ring tie downs from 1/2 inch to 3/8 inches to use a chain binder like the Durabilt Ratcheting Chain Binder for 3/8" - 1/2" Thick Chains - Multi-Hook # DU23MR. For this purpose, I recommend replacing the old ones with the CargoSmart Recessed D-Ring Tie-Down Anchor - Bolt On - 3/8" x 2-1/8" # 348809. The weight capacity for a single tie-down is 1,667 pounds. Depending on your weight needs, you may need to use multiple D-rings.
When considering local traffic laws, it is important to consider best practices in your area.
If you would like to clarify the question, please feel free to respond to this answer.
