Here is the t-hook I was talking about...
Northern Tool Sorry I stated Northern Hyrdaulic-- it is Northern Tool. They are designed to lock into that hole and not let go!! I have e-track in the floor and I have to cross my straps. If I had the in the floor tie downs, I would go ahead and run them straight. I work at the Ford KC Assembly plant as a supplier and every transporter that I see is using chain, t-hooks and pulling straight down loading the suspension.
The only problem that I had when I tried the straight line pull was 1) the e-track attachments wanting to put a wrong pull on the e-track (it was off center and wanted to pull one corner up) and 2) making certain that I had enough strap laid out. That was easy to change with the e-track, but it would be a pain with the set in tie downs.
One thing with the axle strap around the lower control arm, get the axle strap that has a sleeve around it or wrap a towel, vibrating nylon does wonders to well detailed paint!!!
