    Any articulated points should be chained or locked/pinned. That's the way we did it.

    There’s two chains there, 15,000 pound rating each and attached to pretty beefy attachment points. They’ll hold quit a bit on the event tings go sideways

    I just think this truck is too top heavy for those chains to hold it. I've seen where heavy haulers drop these trucks to the frame, or they take the tires off. I think it would be more driving this with the utmost of care, rather than how many chains you can put on it.

    I don't know. I always put mid-point chains on haul trucks. A few extra minutes for piece of mind.
