For icy conditions you would want to go with a V-bar style chain that has the ability to crush ice as you drive through it. For that the part # TC3829 is a fit for your tire size of 285/75-16 and would work well.

Be sure to check the owners manual for any tire chain restrictions.

In most cases only a link or two extra is hanging which would be enough to swing and hit anything on your vehicle. If there were more links than that dangling Titan recommends removing them to prevent damage like you mentioned.
