[QUOTE="kcebcj, post: 866362, member: 10391"] Most of the new 4X4's I've looked at don't have enough clearance in the front wells without modification to run Ice Breaker chains that you describe above until you get into the 1 ton's. I have a 90 GMC that is chained up 4-5 months a year with Ice Breakers front and rear. Bridgestone AT's tire size 285-75-R16 and I had to work on the front wells to gain enough clearance. Did a clean job and it looks stock almost. You need minimum 2-3 inches at its narrowest point with the tire turned. I also have a set of modified truck chains to run when its fresh snow or powder but when things start freezing it's the Ice Breakers all the way. If you are going to chain at all it wants to be in the front so you can steer when icy or when in rough steep country. In the front double the rubbers to keep the heavier chains from looping and hitting the fender well. [/QUOTE]
