As you shared, you upgraded your tires to increase your safety margin, you should here as well. At least to match the chain's strength (Grade 8?) that is in between the low grade connectors.bka0721 wrote:
Hi Buzzcut!
Glad to see you made the upgrade on the tires. The supertruss is a well known hitch for heavy duty application. Going with the Beefy upgrades you have done, the fasteners you are using makes me nervous. I say this from investigating hundreds of trailer/towing accidents. You are using a high grade chain, mixed with low grade rated turnbuckles and Cleve connectors. Sort of the strength is as strong your your weakest link. A Tractor Supply or Ranch Supply would be a better sourcing location for these parts. Also consider the D ring and how beefy it is, as well. As you know from, your work. Too many will disregard as"I've always done it this way." Have fun and the best to you and the wife!

The chains and turnbuckles Cleve connectors are what torklift supplied, never thought about upgrading. The D rings are rated at 10k as are the keyed lock pins holding the extension to the receiver and the husky weight distribution hitch into the extension.

A 2.5" receiver is stronger than a 2" - that's why it's that size.
