If not... I carry 2 short bits of 2x6, with 2 bits of 3/4" ply nailed on leaving an inch wide gap between. Lay them on the ground, put a cross bar of the chain in the gap between ply and drive onto the blocks. This way the chains can be wrestled around easily while the van is securely parked and the connectors etc snugged down. I usuall don't have any loosening up after driving, lot easier than getting soaked/frozen again. Tim
