Are you jacking the trailer/truck up when trying to engage the chains? This makes it easier to hook up. On bottom mount couplers, I'm not so sure you need them to be perfectly level - you have tons more clearance than a regular setup. The goal on level is to avoid the ends of the bars from hitting the frame during off camber/turns, etc.
You will have more links under tension than on a top mounted coupler. It is highly doubtful you are hitting anything during turns, as the bottom mount coupler gives a ton of clearance. You are likely hearing the friction slider. They can make a "popping" sound at low speed during cornering.
The dual cam setup is a far superior system to your friction slider setup.
