7.50 x 16 "military" tires on k20 with chains?

<< < (2/2)

JohnnyPopper:
I don't think chains would be a problem, looked closely at the clearance when putting them on. Now if you're talking about gunther chains instead of the plastic girly ones, it might rabbit, it might...

If you do the upgrade on the springs, (which it seems you need) why not elongate the shackles? You get a two-fer!

I could get longer shackles but I don't like spending money lol. I'll probably go in with the heaviest springs I can get. I've got 7 or 8 on the rear end on each side and it takes about 1k lbs to even make it ride nice and that still doesn't level it out even with all the weight at the back of the bed.

What are Gunther chains? I also don't know of any plastic chains for tires. I'd only trust real trucker style chains with cam locks so that's what I'd be using but not v bar style just regular ladder.

JohnnyPopper:
You perfectly describe Gunther-Trucker Chains with cams!  8)

What less money and less labor? Shackle or leaf?

They sell squishy girly plastico "chains" for passenger cars.
