We "just" bought a set of cables for our Bigfoot 26Sl. We thought that ice would "likely" be our biggest challenge rather than deep snow. Hence the cables. A little easier to install, less damage "if" they come from "un-together" :( and you can drive a little faster than with chains. We went with Peerless Super Z Light Truck/SUV. We tried them on, easy installation and good fit. Also bought an extra pair of binders....just in case!
We also use them on the front, steering can be as or more important than stopping!!!
When we're using our 5er (as it's often for an off-road hunting situation) we have both cables or heavy chains (deep snow or mud) for the truck and cables for the 5er. We've even used chains on the 5er if in snow or mud and road has some "bad angle" toward a steep downhill, off-road adventure! :W
Our chains/ cables stay in the rigs at all times. They don't take up much room, and are "never" at home when you need them!
