What to hook tow chains too......

[stepbill]

I have a hard time hooking up my tow chains to the slots in the trailer hitch mount. How are you all doing it?

I have hooks in mine and they just snap in/out takes about 5 seconds to hook mine up.

Maybe this arrangement in the picture below, or remove the hooks from your current chain and find ones that fit?

I use anchor shackles, they work fine.

Old thread, I know, but it might help someone. Anyway, I hook my tow chains to the horizontal holes in the OEM hitch. I used to hook them into the vertical holes and I'd end up fighting to remove them.

I basically point the hooks toward the centerline of the truck and hook them in. To take them off, I rotate them like I'm unhooking them while simultaneously pressing on the safety clasp. I believe the holes in the horizontal part of the hitch are cut closer to the edge so they take smaller hooks better. I hope this made sense.
