Depends on state..
Looks like Calif requires 3 rail on front axle pulling doubles and rear outsides. According to the pics.
Chain count to carry on the truck?

And you know this year will be the year you get checked in WA too. Lolsnowwy Thanks this. -
Colorado was checking the last week of August, they simply verified you actually had chains. The minimum requirement is 4 singles in Colorado, enough for each outside drive tire. There is no requirement for spares or for a drag chain, that up to you the driver or your company. Personally I carry 6 singles, enough for my 4 outside drives and 2 spares. One thing to keep in mind, chains are not light, so the more you carry, the more extra weight you're dragging around.
Actually, a week ago I pulled all mine off my hanger (carry them year round), inspected for damage and rehung them, checked all my bungees and called it good to go. -

OMG, enough with the spares already. Even CA doesn't mandate spares, it's just rediculous. Keep your 6 in good shape and roll.
