The V-bar style of chain like the part # PWH2828SC is great for heavy snow, but what the V-bars do the best in is ice situations as they break up the ice well.

For heavy snow and mud the Mud Service Chains by Glacier like the part # TC2828CAM would be your best option as the links are much bigger which does better with the deeper stuff what you would encounter.

Since I don't know what size tires you have on your vehicle I can't really make a specific recommendation. I did attach a page that has the different vehicle tire sizes we offer for your truck for you to check out.

Hello Dustin, Great question, the main difference between the two is the chain thickness. The #PWE3227S are 7 mm, and the #PWE2228S are 5.6 mm. This means that because the #PWE3227S are a little thicker it might result in a little bit of a rougher…
