Default RE: Safety Chains for use with Towbar

as the tie down shackles are used with the wrecker whiffle tree for lifting and towing, they were designed just for that purpose.. I typically run a good 3/8 safety chain from the tiedowns on the tower along the tow bar to around the frame behind the street side of the towee tie down shackle...use safety hooks or tape the opening on grab hooks to prevent shaking off.. I always tie the steering wheel loosely with manila rope to allow about one turn... so it wont go lock to lock on the box when making a turn...you may drag a little, but it won't try to head for the South Forty on you...disconnect the forward rear drive shaft at its rear and tie up....and if you have a sprag... take off the front axle caps..and cover with 10000 mph tape or use the poor man's free wheeling hubs... splines machined out of std caps...
