Just wondering if anyone knows good tied down points if any? I didn't see anything about it in my trusty manual. My family is moving and I will need to get my SS up on a trailer. Thanks All

Tire pressure to 40 lb, and apply 3 inch straps over EACH tire and ratchet down firm.

2 inch straps secured to each trailing arm in rear.

2 inch Front strap to to tow point.

You're good to go.

Check air pressure and tension at each fuel stop and before hitting the road in the morning.

Right now I have 3" straps but they have axle loops. Can I get these around the rear arms? Can I use those tire straps that the rental place has? I used to trailer my Jeep... that was easy.

3" will work in place of the 2". As to getting them around the arms, well some things you just gotta check yourself, or con your mom into crawling underneath and checking. The width I cite would be a minimum for attaching to hardware. The tire straps should be 3 or 4 inch, no more, since you want to get some "Bite" into the rubber and use the tires to distribute weight. I don't know if you can use those "Rental place straps". I gave you my suggestions, now you gotta screw up your nerve and figure the rest out for yourself.

thanks for the input. I"ll let ya know how it works... or doesn't

seeing as she is 6' under you'd figure it would be easy, but she was still of no help

I used the front hold downs that come with the trailer and they worked fine (just aired up)
Observation: pull up till the tires hit the stops, or else the straps will contact the front dam.
Used 2 3" straps with axle loops in the rear. I just put them around the rear "axle" bracket
