Can I Use Tire Chains On My 5th Wheel Trailer And My 2022 Ram 3500 With Dually Rear Wheels
Question:
My brain is going crazy thinking about Tire chairs, both for tow rig and 5th wheel. 1 - I cannot find any chains rated for trailers just Light/Medium/Heavy Duty Trucks? 2- my 5th wheel fully loaded is 19k lbs, what tire chains should I have? For my tow rig 2022 Ram 3500 DRW pros/cons of getting the DRW or just doing the outside dually?

Your 5th wheel has trailer brakes, so tire chains will be of benefit. What you have to worry about is the clearance ot the tire chains on your 5trh wheel. If you have room for the tire chains, any of our chains should work. You will have to put them on the braking axle of your trailer to get the intended benefit. I have included a link to our light truck tire chain offerings below.
With regard to using tire chains on your dually 2022 Ram 3500, you should check the owner's manual to see if there will be any clearance issues. You will get better traction if you use tire chains on both tires. We do offer tire chains for dually trucks. Something like the Titan Chain Snow Tire Chains w/ Cams for Dual Tires - Ladder Pattern - Twist Link - 1 Axle Set
part # TC4221CAM, might fit your tires. You will have to check to see if your tires are compatible. I will include that list of sizes below.
