    As long as you keep it from moving, with one forward and one backward, the following would be good enough, according to the rule book.
    At 3/8" chain:
    5400 WLL per string you would need 3.25 chains (grade 43)
    6600 WLL you would need 2.58 chains (grade 70)

    5/16"
    3900 WLL chain 4.36 chains (grade 43)
    4700 Wll chain 3.62 chains (grade 70)
     
    Cetane+ Thanks this.

    Enough chains, yes. But is there only two coil racks ? I'd have at least 4.

    Columbia makes a rain suit that breathes and moves. So no more sweatin' and no more feeling like you are the Pillsbury Dough Boy! Kinda spendy, but hold up really well and I have found are worth the money.
