Safety Chains
I need to extend my safety chains. My camper gvwr is almost 8,000 lbs. There are two safety chains, just like all trailers. So would replacing or extending each chain with 5,000 lb weight rated chain ...

If lengthening a safety chain, I would replace the entire chain. If shortening a safety chain, I would use a double clevis link. If the link fails, the original length safety chain will still hold. I would never use this to lengthen a safety chain because if this fails, you have no safety chain. (I have a utility trailer that I pull with 2 different vehicles. The safety chains are perfect for the truck, but too long for the minivan. I use these links when using the minivan.)
