Because you've only got 2 wheel drive on your 2020 Ram 1500 I'd recommend going with chains like the Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - Square Link - 1 Pair # TC2533. These are diamond pattern chains that will provide better traction than standard ladder chains or cables, and these are great for occasional use. These chains are designed to fit on the following tire sizes that might be found on your 2020 Ram 1500:

- 275/55-20

- 275/65-18

- 275/70-18

I've linked a review video of these chains, as well. If you've got different sized tires, just let me know and I can help you locate some comparable chains.

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.

I took a glance at your 2018 Ram 1500's owner's manual and it does state that tire chains should only be used on the truck if you have 26/70R17 tires, and even those should only Class S chains. So before getting chains at all you should know…
