Wanting to improve my rachet strap tie down system for 69/70 Camaros.........

1) I'd like to convert my rachet handles to having snap hooks on one end to hook directly to D-ring or tie down point of trailer floor. Do YOU do this or see it done commonly ????

2) I've seen or been told where many secure front of car by going between lower control arm and frame with axle strap, then grabbing both metal ends and pulling with rachet strap in X pattern, OR straight.

This allows suspension to move up/down in trailer, correct. Any pros/cons here ???

When I had my drag car many years ago, I anchored into factory subframe hole and pulled front suspension down.

Other than potentially scratching painted frame, why is this practice not being done more.

Thanks for the education
