If using tie down strapes use the same method but keep slipping the half loop to take up the slack then tension to the front and rear.also its a good policy to use the vehicle tie down points or bullbar and tow bar to run retainers to the mid point under the vehicle these need to be hitched off the vehicle so if one end cuts through the other side will keep it steady;(allow for suspension to work) pearcy has a very valid point balance the vehicle so that the combo sits even so you'll probably not have the steers right against the front rail. If you need any more help reply and well get on the phone.
Is anyone else as confused as me. I am sure you are right, Dads, but I wouldn't have a clue how to do what I think you just said. I would just use lots of ratchet tie downs, make sure they don't rub on sharp bits and check it often while travelling. The balance point is important though. I once loaded a Charger onto a car trailer backwards, but it took only a couple of Kms before we took it off and turned it around. Nose heavy is best for a trailer.
