Also, what do you think I should purchase, a chain rack or a box that bolts to the frame?

I used chains once west of Denver on I-70 a couple of years ago. It took me 10 hours and a few grey hairs to do 200 miles. Since then I never drive in weather conditions that require chains. You're almost always better off parking the truck.
When I've saved some money, I'm going to get one of those automatic chaining systems: one push of a button on the dashboard and you have traction! I think it costs around 2 grand though :shock:
