Re: Trailer safety Q\'s
</font><font color="blue" class="small">( do you worry about side to side movement? or has it ever moved side to side on ya? (assuming you just take a chain from left side stake, then thru hook then down to right side stake). )</font>
I use that hook on the front and the pin hitch on the rear. The chains are at about 30-45 degree angles to the front or back, never straight across the trailer deck, so there is no way it could slide side to side. If I had to chain it more side to side, then front to back, I would definately use 4 chains. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
