I have a 05 Tahoe that I use for pulling my fish house and in general for ice travel. I was going to pick up a pair of the standard Peerless V bars just as I have used for years on other trucks, only to find out the owners Manuel boldly states
Do Not Use Chains on This Vehicle due to clearance issues.
Yesterday I crawled under the truck to check out the clearance, just to discover there isn’t any. The brake lines are tight to the inside of the tires causing little to no room for standard chains.
One option would be to get a set of smaller,narrower tires for the rear, allowing more room for chains. Another would be to buy a set of extreme tread snow tires and forgo chains. Another option would be a different style traction device altogether.
Between three of our bigger lakes, I feel uncomfortable not have some type of backup plan for drifted roads, or off road travel in general. A fricked shovel don't cut it
Any ideas would certainly be appreciated! I figured there has to be a set of some type of device that would serve my needs. With the massive area this site entertains coupled with the vast experiences shared, I am all ears.
