[QUOTE="B.Warning, post: 420830, member: 874"] It doesn't take a expert to answer the question. IMO alot of people go way over board. Use a good 3/8 chain with rachet binders throw them over the axles but watch out for track bar, sway bar, brake lines. I normally anchor about 3ft in front and behind the axles. Bind them down and be done with it. I've hauled stuff all over the country like that, been rear ended with a trailer in tow, been hit in the side and pushed off into a ditch and never lost a truck. Didn't even move on the trailer. It its only a 8k lb truck, I haul my 55k lb excavator, and dozer all the time with 3 chains. Its about chain placement more than anything. If you want to throw 4 chains and binders to secure a ex go for it, but I damn sure don't when I know for a fact 2 works. Now if your using straps, I'd use 4 and cross them front to back. [/QUOTE]
