Expert Reply:

No, they will not. I checked with Titan an their Chain Cable Tire Chain item # TC751DC you were looking at do not fit the 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning with 275/50R22 tires. Additionally, your owner's manual says not to use tire chains because of clearance issues on the inner part of the tires. Which means the ones we do have for your Lightning's 275/50R22 like item # KON64FR won't work. With this in mind, I only have one set that will work and it is not an inexpensive option.

To avoid damaging brake lines and suspension pieces on the inside of your Lightening's wheel wells you'll need to use the Konig K-Summit Tire Chains item # KON24FR. The reason you can get away with using these is because they have a unique design where they mount on your tires using one of the lug nuts for the wheel. This mounting method eliminates the need for a chain on the back side of the tires.

The Konig K-Summit Tire Chains item # KON24FR are sold as a pair. I have linked an installation video below that will show you how to get them set up. I highly recommend practicing installing these before you actually need to use them.
