The side chain length on the Glacier V-Bar Snow Tire Chains # PWH2828SC is 80.60 inches but remember that the side chain rides on the sidewall of the tire where the circumference is less. The cross chains are 15.12 inches long. If you were to lie a 15.12 inch long piece of string across the tire so it hung down evenly on each side you could figure out the circumference of the tire at the point the side chain would be on the sidewall.

I do not think fit will be an issue though since these chains fit many tire sizes larger and smaller than the 265/70-17 tires on your 2007 Ford F-250.

For rubber tensioners you would want to use # PW99. I have included a link to a video review of the chains for you as well as a link to our help article on tire chains for you. Be sure to consult the truck owners manual for specific information on the use of chains.
