Just got a 2017 F250. What clevis hook for towing safety chains do you recommend for Fords horrible design? Would rather get a proper hook and not use the shackle method. Hope this makes sense.

Hey Brian, I've looked into this a few times and it's the 3/8 inch diameter safety chain hooks that work with the Ford safety chain loops apparently. For that we have the part # TCSLIP-G70-10-L for just the hook or for a pair of chains that have them you'd want the part # BPH86RR.
