Never used chains myself but my wheeler is lifted and rolling on big mud tires, built motor, clutch work etc, even used to run a small wiff of nitrous on it when it was a pit racer... I'm at right around 20" of ground clearance, if I start to bog down I just up the wheel speed... it can get messy but I've yet to have to get off and shovel lol. If it was all factory, she'd probably be chained up...

For those interested in flotation and traction check out JWheelz
I just ran across them online...looks pretty interesting! And I just spent $4500 on tracks for my Argo... :(

When I first used my ATV for ice fishing, I didn't have chains, just screwed short hex head screws into the treads.  Worked great and cheap.
