A trailer with shortened chains may only be of use with one particular
vehicle.


So, you add a twin clevis and lengthen the chain for the other vehicle(s),
or leave it a little long on the short chained trailer, but not so long that
they drag, or are unsafe. Putting them on as JC proposed with an improper
use of a shackle, then a carabineer to hold the excess is not the safe OR
correct way to do it.

But then, you (and JC, and everyone else) just do whatever you want. Hey,
if it gets you there, and doesn't wipe out a car full of nuns and kids in a
station wagon, what's the foul?

I bet if you could stop 100 vehicles with trailers on any given road, a high
percentage of them would be hooked up either unsafe or incorrectly.

What particular point of my ignorance do you take issue with. You ramble so
much, you never get around to it.
