Advice on lashing down a carrier

[Hans Mulder]

I've always tied to the rear axle and front idlers with four chains and boomers. I don't take up all the slack in the suspension, but enough that it doesn't bounce. Chaining the bogies requires far too much chain on my one trailer (it is 21' long). I have a shorter trailer that needs a wheel bearing and some other work, it may work there if I get it fixed...one day.
