    It was snowing really bad that day and i did some good tire spinning before i reached my parking spot andparked,i tested all the pads are moving up and down,the airlines are fine as well
    I cant even do the tocking part,wont move an inch its just rocking left and right with the clutch
    Some say hot eater might help or bleach in the tire threads

    A set of chains on 1 axle with the interaxle locked in and you'd probably walk the truck out of there like nothing.

    I would go chains. I think that is a good solution.

    6-12 inches yes, it CAN help, bit relies on a ton of other variables
