The jeeps that go on recoveries with us are always chained up on all four corners. In fact we are often told 4 chains are required. I've only ever chained up the rear on my 4Runner but am looking for a solution for the front as well. I'm wondering if cables on the front along with chains on the rear would work ok.

The Jeeps will laugh at you.
Good cable chains might help some, they will definitely help with ice, and they will help to some extent with snow, but not as much as ladder chains.
The problem with the ladder chains is clearance, or course. You would need a solid inch all around, at full lock, including between the tire and the UCA. IDK if we have that with 33 in tires.
