    I wonder where I got the idea that they are eye to the sky...

    If they are shotgun or suicide, chain them instead. Sorry for the confusion.

    If you have an extra minute or so, look up Shane Neil Otts on YouTube. He is very by the book, although he drove for Maverick, he does a good job explaining things and does a really good job tarping coils.

    So u getting 4 coils . 45900 total. Maybe they will be skidded if there is 4 of them. If its suicide loaded. Throw 2 chains on each. One pulling forward and one backwards and and extra one on the front coil for good luck .. And u good to roll

    They’re loaded suicide and now all I gotta do is do my edge protectors, chains and binder; I had two guys show me how to do the cradles and the other half, only thing is I puked a bit ago from getting too hot and I’m taking a little break now lol at least when I told them what was going on and it might be a few hours they were understanding

    Avoid 90 degree docking on a slope if at all possible. Obviously pre tarp pic. Chains are alternating pulls
