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.

first time I towed my carrier to a show I used 5 ton ratchet straps, one on each corner which was great until one of the straps rubbed through and the front of the carrier started to slew off the side of the trailer, luckily I spotted it and pulled over in time.
I now use chains !
