This is bad advice. Avoid chains on the front of a 4x4 at all costs. The front diffs are not designed nearly as strong as the rear and can break. Put the chains on the rear and IF you have a set for the front, take it easy... Take my word for it or not. During certain times of the year I run chains on my pick-up weekly for work. My personal preference is Trygg Super 2000's. They have large studs and not a V-bar. Nothing beats them.
