I have the SCC z-cables with carrying case and everything, S-clearance rated. I honestly have never had to use them. I carry them when I go to tahoe but it's been dry this year, no need. Always good to keep a set with you though. I have a set for smaller rims too. I wonder what my clearance is lookin like Lowered and with a full ride.
I was told not to run anything but super low clearance SCC cables. Also, on all my cars I have ever used for snow, it is good to buy extra rubber tensioners, that way if anything breaks, it shoots the chains off the car rather than wrap around the driveline. I have had a few sets break over the years from constant use from weekly trips.
And chain controls are used in mountain passes. Mainly so people can stop. The grades on highway 80 and 50 along with windiness of 50 and 89 you go off a cliff without chains. I have seen more 4wd accidents from overconfidence than anything. Most ever was 13 SUVs in ONE trip, including a 4 runner sliding down 80 upside down on its roof.
Cali Drivers for the most part aren't used to the snow, or the speed limit, so high speed+inexperience in snow+tires without chains=accidents
