    50% of the WLL. Would be considered a directed tie down.

    You're good so long as you don't make any right-hand turns.

    You are both incorrect. If both ends of the chain attach to the trailer then you get the full WLL of that chain. As long as it is attached to 2 different anchor points on the trailer you get it all. Look at the screen shot JD posted.
