Question:
Is it safe to utilize these tow safety cables if they were wrapped around the tube steel triangle enclosure with the hook attached to cord for completed loop. My trailer is sub-3500#. These are overkill but Im fine with that.

Yes you can wrap your the Blue Ox 7' Safety Cables - 7,500 lbs # BX88196 or 10,000 lbs # BX88197 around the trailer tongue, though ideally you would use a mounting bracket like the Brophy Safety Chain Mounting Bracket - 6-1/8" Long x 1/2" Diameter # MB12 or 5/8" Diameter # MB58.
I have added links to a couple video reviews for you to check out as well.
