Also you'll need four J hooks.

 

Wow that’s about 3000 pounds of chains. 10 20 foot 1/2” chains? I’ve never needed a 20’ 1/2” chain.

 

They are a pain in the butt. I haul things like mill rolls, slag pots and other crap. The have little to no tie down points. One has to get creative.

 

A pick up stopped to turn in front of me. I was doing 55mph. He had no turn signals or brake lights. Snapped the 2 inch hook. Thank god i had this chained down with 2 on the front of the cab, 2 crossed on the back. 2 crossed on the can and 2 on the rear. Never under estimate. Error on the side of caution.

 

So you had to climb up there and steer it to the side for a better picture. Lol
