    They aren't coils, it's coiled cable, and the shipper will not allow chains used. Chains will damage the product.

    Assuming the reel is capable of supporting more chains through the eye. Sometimes all you can get through there are two chains, they usually block them in

    Unloaded and reloaded in Hebron, KY. I'm glad these have holes in them for chains. Was going to just throw straps originally but didn't like how those top beams were stacked. If I stopped fast enough they could slide forward. No headache rack means they would be joining me in the front seat.

    Was able to run chains through everything to get forward and back pulls as well as down.

    Alway loved a good forward and back pull vs straight over the top. The minimal extra work pays in dividends.
