[QUOTE="smbroady82, post: 477689, member: 4029"] [b]Re: Trailer Tie Down Methods[/b] I only use ratchet straps with axle straps.[u] I have seem too many open end straps come undone[/u]. I use (4) one on each corner. It doesn't always get strapped down the same way because it seems like each trip I am hauling different rides. (just mine or 2 rigs or mine and a rzr/ quads, mine and a bunch of quads and so on ) But always always always go to the axles, make sure they are cinched down good ( if you run low tire pressure and don't tighten them down well the tires can flex up and down with the bumps just like the suspension can) something to think about I also use my winch as well as the 4 straps. Some of the guys give me a hard time about using 5 tie down points but my rebuttal is always the same: " I work too hard for my $, and spend way too much time and $ on these toys to see one get ruined/destroyed because I was too lazy to strap one down right" for the guys with the rigs that are 8ft tall/ rock welledrigs that sit high / 3ft of leaf springs and so on, I can see where your suspension swaying would feel uneasy. I would use your winch for a suck down like some of the other guys recommended. my 2c thumb.gif [/QUOTE]
