I reached out to Firestone for a measurement from the tires on the Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2245 for your 2003 Toyota Tundra as we have not installed these in our facility to measure. While they were unable to give me any measurement they only mentioned needing to have at least 1" of clearance from the air springs to any moving object. As they could not give me an exact measurement you will need to measure the air springs on your Tundra to determine which tire chains you will be able to use.

If you do not have the required clearance we do have the Konig Premium Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains # TH2004565767(245/70-16) or # TH02230K77(265/65-17, 265/70-16) depending on your tire size on your Tundra. These do not have chains that mount on the inner side of the tire ensuring you will have enough clearance for the air springs.

If you do have enough clearance then you will be able to use tire chains like the Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains # TC2319(245/70-16), # TC2526(265/65-17), or # TC2324(265/70-16).
