New Deuce with BIG Chain

[jamesww2]

I brought home a new Deuce last week and these very big Chains were in the tool box. Does anyone know what they are used for?

Hmm definately not tow safety chains.

Almost looks like side rail chain off tire chains

If I had to guess it looks like they would be used on a winch. Each hook would go to a shackle of a stuck vehicle with the winch hook centering on the chain.

Be safe with the chain until you know for shure how strong the links are.

that looks like a chain rigged up to use instead of the saftey strap on back of the duece or used with the angled tire chock definity not one to put much strain on

that is a specialty chain, i am sure from the long links it is not very heavy duty, cool for sure, but be careful...those hooks are not for hooking to shackles...Randy

Thanks for all of your imput.
To give you an idea of how big the chain is, the hooks are about as big as my size 11's.

What is the diameter, and the length and width of the links?
