best SY/TY tie down points to trailer?

[Camaro67racer]

So when I bought my Ty I had a Uhaul trailer that had the wheel/tire nets to hold down the truck. On Tuesday I'm buying a Sy and I'll have a friends trailer with tie downs, what's the best places to tie the truck to the trailer? Anyone got any pics?
Thanks

Lower control arms in the front, over the axle only in the back.

You want the trucks suspension to be allowed to float.
If you try to compress the Ty suspension with tie downs you are beggin for trouble.

I run 4 straps, the 2 in the rear criss cross across each other for stability.

Also, I tighten them at each gas stop.

OK cool. Just thought I would ask all of you experts since there is so much going on under these trucks I didn't want to hurt anything. Thanks for the info

while I agree with Jas, I have had good luck putting the hook on the frame where there is a hole, about the door hinge area. Go up front around front of trailer, back to other side of the frame in the hole.

Rear I almost always tie the rear end down.

Probably towed syty's 10k miles without any issues this way. I always check straps the first couple stops for sure.
