An additional set of the Titan Chains part # TC2533 on the front axle of your 2012 Ford F-150 would be a great option. These are a fit for the size tire you have as you have already determined and would give you the same level of traction for the front axle which does most of the braking and all of the steering as what you have out back on your truck.
