Chains on front wheels or rear wheels for 4wd Jeep?

When you only have one set of chains, and are in 4wd already, should you put the chains on the rear wheels or front?
 
@RoarinDave - Obviously having two sets of chains would be ideal. For one set of chains though, I would put those on the rear wheels if anything. You'll have to be careful with the front steering wheels since you won't have the bite the rears do. To get you out of a stuck situation, I'd go with the rears.
 
+1 I was always under the impression the same. Which is what I do, chains on the rear. I know some go with front wheels. The thought is you get steering and pull. I just like on the rear tires for me.
