safety chains...hooks up or down?

Always open side of the hook facing rearward. So up behind and hang, otherwise a rock flying up can kick them off. Never had an issue and it's NOT an offence to have them. It is "recommended" to have closed hooks. I've been ticketed for "not displaying the device".. which equals an annual safety sticker on the truck and trailer. Threatened about S hooks and told them to add it to the bill.... they couldn't!

ok, so it doesnt matter which way you put the hooks on when you have spring clips? but, if you don't have spring clips then you should hook from underneath.

 

does "up" or "down" affect the breaking strength of the hook?
