Tire chains on front with 35X12.50 tires?

If it’s rubbing at all right now, it won’t be pretty. When need them up front, you’ll probably want proper chains, too.

I run cables in the front with my 35s. Didn’t have any issues.* Leave the sway bar connected to reduce risk of damage.

* I did notice recently I have minor rubbing from the tire on the radius arm bolt. So again, leave the sway bar connected and try to avoid full turn lock when chained up

Yeah, that looks about like the setup I'll end up running now. Thanks.

:)

ETA, I just ran rears on the 33's last year. But changed to 35's this summer and am thinking about going with all new chains right now. It's not like I use them often, but when I need them, I *really* need them to get up to my cabin.

Right, chains are normally just sitting in the bed adding some weight over the rear axle. But when you need them you need them.

This was an extremely steep icy chute, was happy to be chained up to not become a part of this mess, when the assignment was to go in and un-**** the situation
