Longer safety chains with swaypro?

I have a f150 and tow a 26 foot bullet premier. I went from a eaz lift hitch to a blue ox swaypro and now my chains seem to short. I did measure from the pin to the ball and the swaypro is 2 inches longer than the eaz lift. Also I had to put the shank pointed down to get it to the correct level and the chains are right up against it.Now my chains seem to short with my brand new trailer. How do I fix this?

As long as your chains are not being pulled tight in a full turn either direction, they aren't to short.

See if that's the case first. If they are being pulled tight, its not difficult to remedy. A couple links of chain and a properly rated connecting link solves the issue.
