Extending Safety Chains
If I need to extend (or replace) the safety chains on my trailer, do I use the loaded weight of the trailer to determine what capacity of the safety chain/cable I need? Thanks!

No, don't use a quick link or any other kind of device like this. They have no where near the strength needed if the trailer comes loose and gives it a good jerk.
This is just not true. You can buy high tensile strength quick links just like you can buy high tensile strength chain.
That being said, it's almost just as easy and about as cheap just to get a length of good quality chain.
