    After I pull these up and level, 4 point securement front and back, and a safety chain,
    I take a chain from his drivers side frame to my opposite side frame w/load-binder.
    Criss-cross them, and tighten each screw load binder, to compress the springs some.

    worst "lost load" I ever saw was on Rt. 80 between Mt. Pocono and White Haven.
    Truck must have had a load of cores; diesel motors.
    There was one right on outside of guardrail. 1000 lbs. plus of cast iron.
    Can't imagine he didn't know he lost it. Just keep your head down and drive I guess.

    I always prefer to grab the axle or control arm. Something that takes away the suspension from the securement. Just a comment, not a criticism. Wheel straps work awesome too.

    Sorry,
    Not clear originally I guess; yes, that is where the 4 point securement mentioned is.
    Never used wheel straps, except on rear wheel lift. Was thinking of getting 4.
    Big top heavy stuff I do the extra mile, to stop the sway from the towed veh. suspension.

    Leftlane sent me a msg.yesterday about a trk that came in where he was parked.
    Had a Jd 1050 on I believe on a 8 axle setup. The trk was multi colored red cab blue bunk and black hood. Small tires on the front end. He wanted to get a pic but couldn't get the chance lol
