Default Length of chains? (Was 'Cross chains or not when trailering')

Bob wrote:
This thread brings up a good question...

How do you determine the proper length of the chains?


I once read somewhere that the appropriate length is 70 degrees from the
points of attachment meaning that the angle between the tow vehicle
and the trailer is 70 degrees without the chains dragging on the ground.

I don't know if that is correct or not, but it seems right.
