James, the offset brackets for the Curt Round Bar Weight Distribution System w/ Friction Sway Control # C17063 are the Chain Hangers for Curt Weight Distribution Systems # C17005 which bolt onto the side of the trailer frame.
We don't have any pictures installed, but I did go ahead and attach a diagram from the manual showing how to install them.
