Thanks,

I should hope the lower control arms are strong enough to hold the car steady on a trailer. Remember they hold the car up. You could bolt on a set of hooks to the frame or have some loops welded onto the frame. Just remember you are trying to prevent the car from moving not trying to pick it up so you do not need an attachment point that is stong enough to stop a sherman tank.

I have used the thru the rim method on my Crager ss rims but my race rims do not have a big enougn hole to pass the straps thru. I have my straps hooking to my front control arms and the rear axle.
