What @Huntindog said!
Nobody cares what link you are on. That will vary from rig to rig and setup to setup. That is WHY there are links in the first place, otherwise they'd just use a bar with two holes in it for top and bottom. or make the spring bar a single "L" shaped piece. Having links allows you to adjust things to get it right.
And don't worry about breaking the chain. Only way you'll do that is if you are in a horrible wreck and the whole rig is destroyed. The two pieces of chain are quite capable of lifting your entire TV and trailer off the ground and shaking it to boot.
