I really like the V-Bar style chains because they really bite into the snow and ice for superior tractions. Titan chain offers the # TC4819CAM that is designed dual rear wheel set up on your box truck. These chains are great for occasional to moderate use.

If you'll be constantly finding yourself in situations where the chains are needed, and the chains will be used more frequently, I'd recommend the Pewag # PWE4219SC square link chains. These won't bite in quite as well as the Titan chains I recommended above, but they are reversible, so you'll get twice the life out of them.

A set of rubber tensioners like part # TCMA2 would also be a good choice for keeping the chains snug. I've linked you to some Tire Chain FAQ articles that you might find helpful.
