Sure, they'll work but it's a matter of how much effort you want to put into it.

You're dealing with compromises. Chances are a jack that will fit under your Box may not have enough lift to clear 15" stands. So you have to lift twice. Or you drive onto some blocks before lifting to give you enough clearance for a larger jack to fit under the car.

My jack requires 5" of clearance and it barely fits under my PASM CSS. My JackPoint jack stands require 12" (probably 13 to get the cap lip to clear the stand) and it takes all the lift of my jack to get it to work. Going another 3-4" would take a lot of lift.

If you don't mind the time and effort of lifting twice, then buy the 15s. Otherwise, spring to a set for ea vehicle and save yourself lots of unnecessary effort down the road. Buy a set for the Box and it will be the best $40 you'll ever spend.
