Sell the original chains and get a pair of safety cables.
I used a longer grade 8 bolt on the lower rear bolt holes.
I found a spacer to fit through the cable thimble and bolted it all together.
The cables are quiet bolted on good and strong and recoil when not hooked up.

Pictures please!
I went simple and used an adjustible channer.
