Fact or Fiction--Trailer tie downs

I have a loop on my front K I run a chain through. On the rear I use ratchet straps around the rear axle. I also have smaller ratchet straps from the rear frame of the car straight down to the tie down points on the trailer. Those little straps take a beating. They will literally start bending the hooks. One other thing to consider..... there is alot of occilation at the rear of the trailer. If you've ever rode in the way back of a school bus you'll see first hand.
