Fact or Fiction--Trailer tie downs

No kiddin, LOL. I've always tied to suspension, close to the tires. I was never fussy about fancy painted LCAs so I just used chains over the LCA and rear axle. I used to have a "little bend" in the brake tube to slip the chains under.

The one thing to be careful of using straps is that you don't cut them up. Much cheaper to scratch a little black paint than have a strap fail
