Increasing the Number of Links when Using a Reese Round Bar Weight Distribution System

Question:

i,ve had this product [66067] for acouple of years now,and i noticed aftertime I,m starting to move up the chain when i tighten it down. for example I was at 4 links when I bought it and now I,m at 8 links. Is this normal or do i need to replace the bars maybe, any suggestions

Expert Reply:

Hi Brian. Has the weight of the trailer changed? If so, more tongue weight would make you use more chain. Typically, the only reason the bars would go bad is if they were overloaded. I would check the tilt of the head assembly. It sounds like it needs to be tilted more toward the trailer. The bars would point down more and apply tension sooner, with less links left over.
