Upper Control Arm Clearance question

Hi there, 1st time poster here. I am pretty new to trucks and was wondering if someone could help me come up with a solution to the following issue. I recently realized that I do not have enough clearance between my front tires and my Upper Control Arm to use chains on my front tires. What options are there for increasing the clearance and thereby allowing me to use chains on my front tires?

 

What size tires are you running and do you have aftermarket UCAs?

 

Lower backspacing (lower offset) wheels or wheel spacers. Just as @98tacoma27 said.

 

Just use chains on the rear

 

you wont likely ever have clearance to run chains on the front, you will chew through abs wires if you do. run them in the rear.

 

I have 265 70 17, and stock UCAs

 

I have 265/75/16 and chains will not fit without wheel spacers on the front

 

Being that running chains is most likley just occasionally (winter time) wheel spacers seem to be the simplest solution. You for yourself will need to determine how often there is the need. You could install them just for winter or leave them on all year. You could go to a wheel with less back spacing. Or you could consider using studed tires (if legal in your area). This is the avenue I would choose if I knew I would use them say every weekend heading to the mountains to go skiing. My problem with chains is all the potential for vehicle damage if they come loose, the limited speed you should use them at and that dilema of (is it time to put them on or can I wait and when I should take them off) There are also other options out there for winter tires than traditional studs.
