[QUOTE="customcj7, post: 700942, member: 3103"] My problem is no rear D-ring. My rig hangs right over the dovetail on an 20' trailer. So going to the stake pockets to the side is literally going to the side with very little forward prevention. Great to keep the rig from sliding off when I criss-cross, but not great for if I hit something or suddenly stop. Plus my ratchet straps don't have a stake pocket chain or hook that fits on the inside so it can scoot around. My trailer has a round bar for the ramps, and then underneath the trailer is a perfect ledge to run a hook to. I run the strap over the round ramp bar and then under to that ledge. It holds great, but I'm always worried that the hook is going to come undone. I know how to use ratchet straps (see posts above about wrapping on each other) and I get those things tight as hell on the rear axle. But damn I don't like having something that could pop off. Other than that I use big ass ratchet straps that go around my axles and back to the tie points. I plan to get some straps with axle straps as well for other project cars where I need something simple. [/QUOTE]
