You would need 5/16 - 3/8. I have a few 3/8-1/2 and they are to big for 5/16 and you would be taking a huge risk. Safest thing to do is get proper binders.

So what size binders do I get Nd chains do I get as well cuz I’m going tomorrow to go get them
cke Thanks this. -
blairandgretchen and cke Thank this.

3/8-1/2 binders are overkill for any flatbed or stepdeck as 90percent of the tiedown points will be rated at less than 5500lbs
If you will be pulling a lowbed then 5/16 chain should stay in your headache rack unless it is used to tie down a loose auxiliary piece of less than 5000lbs and a 2 inch ratchet strap will do as well.PoleCrusher and cke Thank this. -
Not so much on binders ( the screw type are the best) an old timer told me, "if you line up all the links in the chain ( no kinks) it will never get slack", I tried it, and it works.

I’m sorry for not been more detail on my post my setup is a f250 on a 28ft Gooseneck

You have an F-250 and a 28 foot gooseneck to move freight, or are you putting an F-250 on a gooseneck trailer to move it?
cke Thanks this. -
I’m putting it to work the truck Nd trailer
