[QUOTE="Ipkyss, post: 1347151, member: 1737"] After towing trucks and offroad rigs thousands of mines. Best way is straps with axle straps. two on the front, two on the back. straps crossed. Meaning hook strap to left rear of truck and right rear of trailer. While I cheat around town I would never tow a truck with only two straps on it at high speeds. Any sort of accident and your going to get hit by your load. One strap on the rear is just not strong enough. 2-2" ratchet straps on the rear is barely enough to hold the load in an accident. Tire straps seem to be what most people in the hauling business use and work very well. I am towing stuff that ranges from small car tires to 40+" offroad tires. So I never tried the tire straps Another tip. If you are having straps loosen on you. Try a few more wraps on the ratchet. If you pull all the slack out of a ratchet strap, then tighten the ratchet, you may only have less then a full wrap on the ratchet. Less then a full wrap will slide out over time. [/QUOTE]
