FYI, some larger tire box stores will sell you chains and if you do not use them, they will refund your money. We used to do this in college when money was tight.

I carry chains (4) also a come-along, chain, 4 inch nylon strap,..

I also have this RULE:
I do not use chains to get into a place. I only use them to get out of a place.

These fit a Ram 2018 2500 LWB 4X4 Crew Cab 285 60 R20, RAM 2500 Manual says only chains on the back though. Haven't had a chance to check clearance on the front yet.

Bring the chains but leave them in the bed on the way in, chains are best planned to be used for getting back out. If you use them to get in and conditions worsen it's a whole new ballgame.

This picture is from the first week of September 2020 in Colorado. The picture doesn't do it justice. But, my truck wasn't going anywhere without some help. I didn't bring chains since my F250 says not to use them. And when I got pulled out the tow guy said they wouldn't have gotten me out anyway. But, chains have been in my truck ever since. Getting tow people into the backcountry is a difficult task. The chains are a relatively cheap insurance policy to help keep you self sufficient.

No. It's a wash about 10 miles from a paved road. Yeah, I had 4 wheeled drive. 4 wheeled drive worked great until a section of the road that was tilted about 15 degrees sideways.

I pulled out a guy with CO plates in the 2019 3rd rifle season, he didn't mind my Texas plates too much... just sayin.
edit: He had either an F250 or F350 can't remember.

 

[bradyhunt]

He was probably a recent Texas transplant.

For me the chains aren't for mud or x-country but for ice when the snow gets packed down on the north sides.

I keep two sets in a ammo box in the back. Pulling a horse trailer, it's a safety issue both ways. Most of the time I only use chains on the front. It's a bad day when I need them on all four. When I get to that point, I usually park at the bottom and ride in.

Adequate prep includes chains, tow straps, log chain, come-along and some times a set of mine lagging for mud holes. Plan ahead!
