Usually with higher capacity safety chains like the # FCHA0050324 that you referenced they get attached to the trailer frame with safety chain loops like the part # 337SC58B directly which get basically welded over the end chain link. Quick links could work but you'd need one really high capacity since this chain set is for higher capacity setups.

The part #RM-910022 is rated for 6,000 lbs so would not be a good choice for your setup that tows a 7,500 lb trailer but the part #C82932 has a 3,300lb safe working load capacity and 16,500lb break strength capacity, which would be way to go.
