snowchains for duallys
Well, I'm about a week away from giving notice to my landlord and making the first of what I hope are only three trips up the state to move the rest of my stuff....I have an 85 ford F350 8'x12' stakebed 1 ton dually..Loking at the ten day forecast for the area, it looks like I'll be arriving during a snow storm on the first trip...so I nned chains for my truck....
I'm wondering how this works with a dually...Do the chains only go on the outside tires, or do they make chains to go around each pair? Also, where is chain technolgy at now...(haven't bought any in about 20 years as until about 3 years ago I've had 4x4s all that time)..
also, am I wise to buy on line, if so where should I go? Or is this something I should go somewhere and have custom fitted?

snowchains for duallys

----------------------
On the other hand, a small piece of timber, cut to form a ramp, and with a spike or something sticking down to stop it from slipping, under the inside dual will make putting chains on the outside dual a cinch
----------------------
What a great idea....Would take a lot of the 'dread' out of putting on chains...And I might even be able to complete the task without getting too dirty!

Is there a Les Schwab tire store down there?
-----------------------
I don't know about down here, but there are definitely some up there...worse comes to worse, I guess I could stop by one of their stores on the way up...
My main concern is when I get to about 150' from the drive leading into my property, there is this little hill...probably only about 12--15' high, and maybe 30'-40' long on each side..Gravel road with hard dirt...The neighbor tells me it's the only spot he has trouble with in his 2wd toyota pick up...Another neighbor complains aout it too....I guess it gets a bit slippery...If and when I get to the point where I can buy my backhoe...one of my first projects will be to knock some of the crown off that hill and use the dirt to lengthen the slopes...of course, I want to have the chains regardless, in case I ever hit heavy enough snow that they put up the chain check points...
