[QUOTE="RustyC, post: 477588, member: 1997"] [b]Re: Trailer Tie Down Methods[/b] I use a combination of chain and straps. First find the sweet spot on your trailer where you like you rig. Make a custom length chain or chains from the front axle to the trailer. Attach the chains and put the rig in reverse to remove the slack. Place rig in park. Attach rear straps and snug them up. Place rig in neutral. Tighten rear straps. Place trans in park. Ride out. My theory is this way the parking paw in the transmission is not under load for all the road miles. Helps to locate the rig in the same spot time after time. [/QUOTE]
