Where Do Safety Chains Get Run to on a Vehicle that is getting Flat Towed
Question:
Hello, I found the Blue Ox BX88291 and BX88296 lug adapters available for aftermarket off road bumpers. As these mount to the clevis D-ring points on the bumper, and most bumpers Ive seen dont have a cable ring connection point, what is the usual solution to run break away cables when hooking up to a tow vehicle set up like this? Thank you for your insight and advice.

Expert Reply:
Typically we recommend you run tow bar safety cables to the frame of the vehicle that is being flat towed. Without knowing what vehicle you have it would be hard for me to make a more specific recommendation than that.
I attached an FAQ on flat towing that you may find informative to the right as well.
