I have fox hollow super stakes and the quick link doesn’t fit on through stock chain. I was going to either add a swivel to the stake end and connect the quick link to that or add a swivel and #3 chain and connect to the #3 chain. Or maybe there is another option I haven’t thought of??? Thanks.

This is the best option I have found as well. I have stretched links as flint hills has mentioned, but not all chain can handle that....watch out for cracked or broken welds on stretched chain!
