Believe most states require a break-a-way box if you have electric brakes. I don't have the box and never have had any trouble....but then again I made 4 round trips from Phoenix to Spokane with no plate....

I just got done putting more rings on mine in the "big project." For one, I needed one close to the "wench" to double line (snatch block) the thing.

And, when I hauled that pickup, there was really no good way to tie down the rear axle.......no rings on the rear, and the stake pockets were too far back.......right beside the rear tires.

WA state is pretty nasty. You WILL have a breakaway box if you are stopped. They are cheap, all they are is a "yank out" cable switch, and a small battery

And you are supposed to have 4 INDEPENDENT chains. This means you can break any one chain and the other three will not be affected.
