On a 4x4, unless maybe the rear had a locker, the front will have more traction because of the weight on it. You may have a bit more directional control with them on the front if you are navigating rough terrain.
In an off camber situation however, unless you have a heavier duty truck with a solid front axle, you may lose traction just from a wheel being unweighted.
Keep in mind that there is probably more stuff up front that chains can catch on , and possibly tear off or stop the wheel from spinning. And the front runs out of clearance faster, especially if you run oversized tires.
Most of the time I would just put them on the rear. I actually have 2 sets of heavy duty V-bars, and I have only had them on the back so far. They are a huge traction adder. If I did put them on the front I would need to drive pretty carefully, and not be steering too tightly.
