I want to get a long tri-axle fifth wheel

@mikeradman Fifth wheels are positive lock hitches. They do not require safety chains.in fact they could get caught on the hitch and could cause an accident besides if you lost a trailer that weighs more than your truck safety chains would take you along for the ride.

Like a TT, isn't there safety chains to hook up as well?

Harold, I am not impressed. Level only matters AFTER you hook up, connect the wire so you can apply the brake WHILE you hitch, place the pin plate slightly lower than the fifth wheel, so that you don't risk high hitching it, put a pin or padlock on the safety latch so it can't pop open, connect the breakaway safety cable, and RAISE YOUR LEGS.
Hey.......you forgot to lift the front legs! Check out 2:56 and you'll see them hanging down as they drive off!!!
