Safety Equipment 4 Hauling Your Toy

[vht]

On door cars I always crossed them. I would then tie the frame so the car wouldn't bounce if I had something with coil overs. On my dragsters I went over the rear slicks, supported the chassis in 2 places, and then went over the chassis on the 4 link car. Shocks will actually get hot on a long tow if you just let the car bounce, not good on a high dollar set of shocks. I used Jeg's straps and axle straps. Whatever you buy in either, buy the heaviest rated. The cheaper axle straps are junk.

I tie mine down by the frame. The longest trip racing I have been on is close to two thousand miles. I would rather not wear out my springs and shocks on the race truck.
