Question:

Hi there, what is the best product/piece to reduce the size of my 1/2 d rings on my trailer. I would like to hook my 3/8 binders to the d rings but of course currently, the sizes do not match. Shackle ? Quick link ? What is the legal way to do this.

I believe you are talking about reducing the thickness of your D-ring tie downs from 1/2 inch to 3/8 inches to use a chain binder like the Durabilt Ratcheting Chain Binder for 3/8" - 1/2" Thick Chains - Multi-Hook # DU23MR. For this purpose, I recommend replacing the old ones with the CargoSmart Recessed D-Ring Tie-Down Anchor - Bolt On - 3/8" x 2-1/8" # 348809. The weight capacity for a single tie-down is 1,667 pounds. Depending on your weight needs, you may need to use multiple D-rings.

When considering local traffic laws, it is important to consider best practices in your area.
