Question:

I bought your B&W Extend Goose coupler. Will I need longer safety chains to make a tight circle? If so, what is approximate length of chain I will need? An extra 10 ? Thx!

Thanks for the purchase! And the answer to your question is yes, since it has a 10 inch offset, you will need longer safety chains with the B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler # BWTEXA4200.

I can't give you an exact length, but an additional 10 inches from what you have now in order to accommodate the offset is what you will want to look for. The longest we have which may work depending on your current chain length is the 42 inch Fulton Safety Chain with 1/2" Clevis Hook # FCHA0070324.

I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out as well of this chain.
