Madjan -
If you have only a couple of free links, you are probably OK. But it is a common misconception that the number of free links will be the same for every hitch. Not so. I was referring to the number of links between the springbar tips and the hook, not the number of free links beyond the hook. After all, somebody could put on a longer chain (more links), and you would still want the same amount of lift. The number of free links has no effect on the amount of lift, and isn't really a good indicator of "how to set it up".
