Am curious on the last link to the shackle, as the shackle dia is way larger than the chain link's inner dia. . .
Well, this is quite a discussion. I guess the only votes on my question points to analaity. I currently have no accurate weights on the trailer. I will see what I can do about that. There is a CAT scale a few miles down the road I have wanted to visit. I guess now is the right time.
Unfortunately the trailer is currently parked on a slight slope. The good thing is that I have acquired and installed an after market receiver and ball/ball mount (rated at 1,500 tongue, 15,000 tow) that have a rated capacity that exceed the potential weights (9,590 GVWR * 12% tongue weight = 1,150). That means I can get the trailer out of the yard and to a flat level parking lot to install and adjust the new hitch.
Youbetcha I'll be getting the most accurate before and after weights and measurements I am capable of.
