Thanks for the information and the pics. Looks like you did a great job with install. There's a insta-chain certified dealer and installer in Louisville. That's about 4 hours from me. The more I...

Rear suspension.

I think it's pretty accessible. I can't get a closeup shot until I'm back in town Tuesday. There's a rear propane tank between the frame rails, but it's behind the axles.

Automatic chains

Does anyone have insta-chain or onstop installed on a class 8?
How well do they work?
Roughly how much were they with install?
Thanks!

Thanks for everyone's input. I did get a final ruling from Blue Ox. I was straightforward with them regarding the estimated mileage and usage. I called in the serial number and they reviewed the...

Blue ox

Talked with Blue ox. They're looking at the pics and their comments were that it is an old towbar, 5-7 years old, and has a lot of miles on it. I think I've towed about 50K with it. So they felt that...

Thanks. I haven't seen recent posts and did speak with the manufacturer. It's nice to hear from current owners who have no reason not to give full disclosure. I had been told by owners and the...
