[QUOTE="grcthird, post: 477895, member: 1181"] My contribution to this thread is this; check you nuts that hold your hitch balls on. I have actually started doing this on every truck that comes in the shop and it is down right scarry how many are loose. That flimsy little lock nut is not going to eternally keep a ball from spinning when it has a ton of weight turning on it. I use 2 straps on the rear axle going straight back and 2 on the front axle that go to the front corners of the trailer and I don't cross them. I use the tails to tie back to the rig or trailer so if a strap comes off it doesn't get lost or fly down the highway. I have angle iron rails about 12-16" up off the deck so the buggy isn't going to slide off the side. [/QUOTE]
