    Chains are easy to put on.
    1. Drape chain over tire.
    2. Make sure one side of chain is between the ground and front of tire
    3. Make sure the other side is "stretched" behind tire.
    4. Roll forward slowly .
    5. Watch in mirror as chain "threads" itself onto tire.
    6. Set brakes. Get out and lock chain connectors.
    7. MOST IMPORTANT STEP... USE A MINIMUM OF 3 BUNGEE CORDS ON EACH CHAINED TIRE. Apply bungees in a star shaped pattern.
    8. Happily drive down the ice and snow covered roadway secure in the knowledge your chains WILL STAY ON, instead of parking the truck (thus protecting your life, truck, cdl, and gangsta fenders) .
    - if your shocks, springs or air ride is in good condition, they chains will fit under those fenders without damaging them.
    - 29 years experience in all 48 and Canada, never once put chains on to make it down the road.
    - I do however teach drivers the correct way to install and secure them to the tires.
