Required in most states, a safety chain acts as a backup if your trailer becomes disconnected from your tow vehicle. Attach the end link of this zinc-coated steel chain to your gooseneck coupler, and then hook the clevis hooks to loops in truck bed.

As shown in the illustration above, locate your safety chain mounting lugs on the rear underside of your Goose Box. Install the flat washer onto the bolt and put bolt and washer through the last link in the safety chain. Next, position bolt, washer, and chain assembly through the hole in the mounting lug, and secure with 1/2" nut and lock washer. Bolt should be torqued to 110 ft. lbs. Repeat the process for the other chain.

Required in most states, a safety chain acts as a backup if your trailer becomes disconnected from your tow vehicle. Attach the end link of this zinc-coated steel chain to your gooseneck coupler, and then hook the clevis hooks to loops in truck bed.I ordered these safety chains to go with the 16k Goosebox. They fit perfect, length is good. I did modify the chains with hooks on both ends. This saves from being in the bed of my pickup during coupling or un-coupling hitch. See the pics. Turned out nice, I got lots of compliments on our first trip out with the new setup.
Free shipping isn’t free! I purposefully ordered $[XX] in items to qualify for the free shipping offer. Unbeknownst to me, my order languished in a holding pattern until I called to follow up on it being shipped. My two options were to wait to see if it made it on time before we left on a 5 week RV trip or, now, pay the $[XX] to expedite the shipment. Being that the main order was safety chains for our 5th wheel, I did not want to leave our home base without them and did think that a nearly 3 week lead time would be enough time. Nope. But, the additional $[XX] did get them to me in 3 days. I did want to give props to my customer service contact who was very apologetic as to the circumstances and did take a focused effort in making sure the expedited shipping was put into motion.
These were installed as safety chains on a fifth wheel travel trailer. They were easily installed and appear to be very robust. They have been used multiple times with no issues and I heartily recommend them for anyone needing such a product. Fortunately they have not been needed for their intended purpose!
Lightning - 01/02/2021Very easy to attach to trailer. Hooks are a little bit large, making them somewhat difficult to attach to my truck, but they do work as advertised. I haven't had to test them yet by having the trailer break loose, but really I don't want to.
Trefor - 03/01/2021I ordered the safety chains to work with my 20k Reese goosebox and my B&E goose ball. The hooks fit perfect on the B&W chain supports and all the necessary hardware was included.
Much heavier chain than [other vendor] wanted to sell me and $[XX] cheaper per set. Also arrived in a timely manner, totally intact. A local welder will be happy to install. Stay away from Camping world. I cam in with 3 known issues and asked for them to do the work but I needed a cost estimate first. Called for an appointment in April. Couldn't get in until Jube. Came in in June but saud they were 2 weeks out. Left trailer and told them I was leaving in a week for a month long road trip. emailed me an estimate one week into the trip. Ridiculous expensive. Came back and told them no deal. Charged me $[XX] for the time it took to do the estimate. They also would not apply the cost of the estimate to the repair work to be done. Through with [other vendor]. Should have read all the negative reviews online first....tbere are a ton of them. etrailer? Easy to work with, carefully explains what product to get to solve the issue, and tell you how to install. Love etrailer!
Haven't actually towed with these but will be next week. So far they look and feel very solid and capable. Long enough for the gooseneck with room to spare and they feel like that trailer isn't going anywhere if there is a fubar. Hopefully these will last (rusting) as long as I hope. For the price, very happy.
Roman - 04/12/2021This is one of those purchases where you have absolutely no regrets. These safety chains are exactly what I was looking for and for a great price. They are much longer than I needed which is great because you can customize them to suit your needs. I did a lot of research before making this purchase. The safety latch provides a worry free installation. I could not recommend this product more.
Darwin - 12/29/2020Big heavy duty chains!
Received the package on time and clearly marked...
The item is ok, as expected. All components came in as described. The reason for 4 stars is for etrailer's shipping box. It was was not well packed.
High quality, heavy duty.
Strong, heavy, durable. Gives me extra confidence pulling a fifth wheel with a ball-style (Anderson) hitch. Safety chains aren't normally used when securing a kingpin fifth wheel hitch, but they're used with gooseneck hitches. I never understood why, but since my connections to the truck are by a ball-style (like a gooseneck or a bumper pull) hitch, I thought it wise to have safety chains too.
Very nice and reasonable price
Great safety chains. no rust, the finish is lasting.
Dave B - 07/23/2021Had previously ordered the Reese Goosebox for my trailer with the excellent help of Lindy A. Realized I needed safety chains after I received the unit. Shipped the same day I ordered them so my trip was not held up at all.
Had to replace the hooks, they were too small to use with the Curt Chain loops that came with product C60618, otherwise they work great. Cadmium coating is better than most - no rust after a year outside.
Hooks fit hitch on my truck perfectly, over kill for a 7,000 lbs trailer, but better safe than sorry.
Great products every time. Service is second to none. Prompt on time delivery and a day earlier then promised. If this sounds to good to be true give them a try! Thanks again etrailer.
Overkilling maybe but why not. Chains look super duty to go along with my Demco 5th wheel hitch. Thanks
Kevin - 03/04/2020heavy duty
These have stood up to weather, abuse and have worked great for my Reece Goosebox. I recommend them.
The Ford OEM Goosenech ball by B & W and safety chain arrived a day earlier than predicted. Everything was packaged very well and arrived in great condition. I have tried everything out and they work great! etrailer comes through again with great service, products and prices. Very happy with my purchase, products, and customer service.
Great job! Excellent service and on time delivery! Could not ask for more! Thanks!
I used these to help tow my 11K lbs tiny house. Top quality and price.
