We could now get the vehicle safely up on the trailer, and we wanted to guarantee we could keep it there. We  ordered a set of four combination ratchet tie-downs (27000 series) from Trust Me Tie-Downs. In the past, we&#8217ve used ratchet tie-downs, which had hooks at both ends, and separate axle straps that went around the axletubes or control arms when there wasn&#8217t a good place to snap on the hook. The Trust Me Tie-Down ratchet tie-downs can be used with a hook at either end or as an axle strap. This was much easier than our trying to locate our separate axle straps, which have a tendency to get misplaced. If you have a painted and detailed chassis like this one, the straps are the only way to go.
