For your size 285/75-18 tires, the best option for snow tire chains are from Titan, at the following part number:

- Titan Chain Snow Tire Chains w/ Cams for Wide Base Tires # TC3831CAM

There are a number of reasons I really like the # TC3831CAM, starting with their links, which are twist links that have V-bar studs. What these do is not only provide you excellent traction in snow - even deep snow - but the V-bar studs on them also cut through ice, so your F-250 can drive more safely no matter the type of winter weather you face.

These chains also have a built-in cam system, which means you can get a tighter fit around your tires during install. Even with that, I always recommend adding rubber adjusters so you never have to worry about a chain loosening as you drive, the Titan Chain RA10 Rubber Tire Chain Adjusters # TCOA2.
