Right,
But I have heard of a strap that is like a bungee.

number one dont use chains not a good idea at all. and i use a 4" strap from tsc lasted me about two years hasn't broke yet but its seen its better days. the one i have seems to work good for fullsize trucks dont break when you jurk with it but still has give to it to give it the bungy affect. and its going to be around 80 or 90 bucks for the one i have.

25ft nylon rope with a 1.5" diameter loops on both ends. If that doesnt work I use to have a 25ft choker for pulling out big things
(I ran a water truck and use to get stuck 5-6 times a day and slide into 3-4ft ditches)...
