Look at my hitch set up please....
Does anyone see anything wrong with this? I am a newbie.

The set-up looks ok. But now, you need to raise the truck and trailer together with the tongue jack, and put the WD bar chains on about the 5th or 6th link from the bar, then raise the jack and watch how much the tow vehicle squats. You want to adjust the number of the chains so the front and the back bumpers lower the same. For example, If front and back are currently 12 inches off the ground, when you raise the jack, the front and back should now be ...(example only)... 11 inches and 11 inches, not 10 and 13.
The higher you raise the truck and trailer with the tongue jack the easier it is to put the chains on.
The way your chains are right now, I doubt you have very much rear lift, causing weight on the back and front axle of the tow vehicle light. (It will drive squirrely). Start mid-way on those chains and adjust accordingly.
