Safety Equipment 4 Hauling Your Toy

[Marv D]

I say it DEPENDS on the suspension you have!

1000's of $'s coil-over drag shocks are not real happy being beat up carrying the load of the car on a bumpy ride home. Once you spend all the time to get everything tweeked exactly right in the suspension,, it's time to support the chassis on stands /or a bladder under the chassis to carry the load, then strap the CHASSIS down. Your looking to take the load off the suspension and keep the car stable. Not allow it to beat up on the setup all the ride home.
Don't mis-understand....
I surely don't disagree with KQQL that everything bound down tight makes for a harsh ride with the trailer suspension doing all the work. But my point is when your trying to protect a set-up in a $10-12k suspension, in a 2600 pound car.... it's a very different ballgame than hauling a 2-1/2 ton street / strip cruiser, or show car around that has basically stock suspension.

But to the original question,, The Jeggs 'kits' are about as cheap of a 10,000 pound strap as your going to get, and it has decent quality components. The ends are surprisingly strong.

Like 71dragtruck, I was lucky enough to have the "E-Track" in the enclosed,, WOW are those nice. You can move the rind to anywhere that fits the load. I saw a picture of one of there JimGlo trailers off the side of the road upside down,. with a 68ish Pontiac hanging from the E-track tiedowns. One side was really screwed but the heavy car was hanging from the E-track. Those are the greatest trailer items I've seen to date.
