    My truck only has power divider :)biggrin_2553:). I chain mostly for going off road. If i need alittle more bite i chain one axle. If it is a long or tough pull, i chain both axles,for traction and hoping to save alittle wear on power divider...:biggrin_25514:

    Two sets of triples for drive axles and a pair of singles.

    Well, i don't really "care"( i do care) so much about state or provincial laws what i was more concerned about is the question of maximum traction.

    i was thinking that if you only chained one axle, then if the other un-chained axle broke loose then you're back to square one as far as getting stuck.

    Triples on both drive axles will give u max traction. I use a set of Trygg 2000's and a set of Scan trac's.

    A triple will chain up duals and a single will chain up one tire on a dual.
