Ok, I have a question for the 4 wheel drive experts. I have a 2004 liberty limited with the select-tract , no traclock rear end. 1 set of chains for snow, which are the "drive wheels' in 4 wheel low or high and should the chains go on the front, rear or on the "drive wheels" on the front and back for snow? Thanks!

In 4x4 low and part time the centre diff is locked so 50% power to front and back. Full time 4x4 puts the centre diff back in.
I'd put the chains on the front and run full time 4x4 with the centre diff operating.

You'll be stuck spinning the rear wheels in full time with chains on the front. Full time it really only useful when the roads are partly covered in snow or its raining.

If the roads are completely snow covered, I suppose it doesn't matter where the chains are, but use part time.
