Tim,
If you latch one side first, the other side will always be easer to latch as the one side takes part of the load and makes the other side easer.
Try it, latch either side first, then the other, then unlatch the first, and then re-latch it, the effort will be less than when you latched it the first time.
Both chains should be at the same number of links. It's not about the force it takes you to latch them, it's about the amount of weight you are transferring to the front of the truck.
