Joe,
I use the chains on all tires. With six wheel drive and no interaxle diff,
you need to equalize the traction on all wheels.
Use highway pressure (50-55 psi). No need to air down, actually don't, you
may harm the tires.
If you have chains for the duals, use them. They can be taken apart to make
single type chains (I have done that).
You can also just put single type chains on the outer of the duals.
Chains make a world of difference in mud and snow!
Chains make for a rough ride on hard surface, though... you begin to feel
sorry for the old deuce vibrating like mad.
Have a great day!
Bjorn
