I have included a couple of pictures I edited showing the dimensions of the chain links and the quick link included with chains # TR63035. These chains have a capacity of 5,000 pounds when used as safety chains (lateral pull).

The largest bolt that could fit through one of the regular links is going to be a 1/2 inch or 7/16 inch due to slight variations in the links. For the larger quick ling 11/16 is the largest
