I use axel straps to hold my rear end down by going over the rear axels (left axel tied to the right floor anchor and right axel to the left floor anchor) so that I am actually criss crossing the pumpkin. In the front I go over lower control arms and criss cross them as in the back. I have been doing this for over 14 years and NOTHING has been bent or distorted. The straps actually pull against the outside of the lower frame.

I have towed my cobra and coupe from Tulsa to Road America, Hastings Neb, Baton Rouge LA, St. Louis, MAM in Iowa, Dallas and College Station etc. plus the usual trips to Hallett here in Tulsa. Never a problem with movement of the car.

I have a bigger concern with forgetting to strap down my tool box or jack than movement of the car while in transport. Good luck with your haul.
