I'd use two shackles with a higher rating joining a short length chain. Or perhaps a fixed clevis around the hitch as the anchor for the chain. I'd be worried that the sharp bends and side load in the chain around the hitch would reduce the rated load capacity of the chain. If it breaks it's not going to cause too much damage as it's going to go up and to the rear of the truck, but I'd not want to be in the vehicle being pulled out.
