That's funny, well not at the time. This trailer is really old . I've never dragged the chains. I've never looked at them to be honest. Getting it squared up. To much rain this weekend as planned...

I had a smaller boat that had a similar set up...much nicer.

Yep

That's ok for light duty- which is my problem. I have 1/4" chain with similar hooks. I'm going to get 3/8 chain with the hook style I pictured above...now I'm looking at the mounting. If you look at the picture mike posted, the chains are attached at the vase of that kick stand- mine is a single...

Agree 100%. I'm going to go to a cat scale when done and get all the weights. I travel about 10 mikes round trip and the worst incline in roads is the ramp. I'd do bigger truck if I find any more than I do...

Mine is actually a 2006...5.4 3 valve motor , 4.10 rear end. And 2wd! I see guys with superduties spinning wheels at the ramp dropping jaw when I ease mine out of the water. I'm not going cross country with it and I'm in Florida- but it's a great truck. I am for sure right at the limit and if i...

Here is what I need for a 10k traiker. I have to measure my chain but I think I'm 3/8". Current S hooks would only be go for holding up the chain! One other thing i learned was that chains are chris crossed so in the even of seperation, they would cradle the trailer tounge.

While I'm concentrating on my trailer, which has surge brakes, is there any service to the coupler? I don't recognize looking at it any wear items- I know it goes back and forth as brakes are applied but is there something there that will wear out? There is a grease zerk there where it slides...

We may not be talking about thr same type s hooks...these I can barley get one end into the chain...these are a hardware item like you'd hang something with..I'll look at e trailer, I'm really missing something simple. I'd like to get it a little cleaner looking but mainly to make sure I'm safe...

I have 10k behind my truck...so if it comes off the ball, those s hooks will be straight line no hook!

So, you don't understand how little I know about this. Good thing my towes have been local and 35 mph- but I want to get everything straight. So these shackles would replace my S hooks...my tow hitch, which was factory, I had no issues connecting the s hooks to the hitch..i mean you have to get...

My safety chains are a hot mess. My chains themselves are I'm sure sufficient but the ends are just some S'S from a box store, have no idea of the strength. On the hitch side I'm good on my f 150 and the hitch has the receivers fot the safety change and the proper rated hitch/receiver and ball...

Florida...i lose signal in Orlando with at & t!

L Lol,,sorry...

I have it all cleaned up ready to install my new parts and will get pictures of all ready to install with new pads.

I can easily clean it up before it goes back on a wheel.

What i could have done is use the trailer mater cylinder to puch it out- but I had already replaced with a new and wanted to rebuild so I always have a spare.

The brake if off tge trailer on a bench.

Yes
