Hey group I just got a 18 foot tilt deck trailer that I will be using to tow my wife's journey from Washington to Cali. I'm trying to find straps to tie it down but I'm unsure which ones to get. The trailer has 4 D rings 2 on the front and 2 on the back. I was looking at an adjustable net style that has straps/ratchets that go straight vs to the side. I know they have axle straps but the only thing I'd be able to wrap around would be the control arms which doesn't seem very safe. Thoughts?

Check out Macs Custom Tiedowns. They have some really nice sets of tie downs and their pricing is reasonable. There is also a lot of good information and videos on their site on the correct way to use them.
