Expert Reply:
Yes, you will want to cross the 40" Vinyl Coated Safety Cables with Clevis Hook (Qty. 2) by Dutton-Lainson, 6,500 lbs. # DL20119 when you're installing them.
The idea behind this is that they will cradle the trailer tongue if it becomes disconnected, which will result in a safer stopping situation if you're able to do so quick enough.
