Trailer Box

Picked up a truck box from a full size pickup and had it mounted on my open car trailer to hold all my tow gear when its not in use.
I know the box is exactally straight, but when it was mounted the weight distribution hooks were off from side to side.I moved one of them slighty back to match the other one but now when I hook up the WD hitch the chains dont feel that tight.
How tight should the chains be on a WD hitch????Right now I'm using 4 links.

The chains should feel tight. I've always used the same number of links on each chain so they match.
