I'm a little late here, But this is excellent content! I have an enclosed transport business (1 7 car tractor trailer) It is amazing the crap I've seen my competition do over the years relating to "securing" high-end vehicles.
Tim I had a father that will always be my hero, but watching your video's makes me sometimes wonder if I was adopted. Besides myself it seems you're the only other one that gives any of this type maintenance/ preventative maintenance type stuff any thought at all.
I see some people using woven tie down ratchet straps (like you show in the video), and others using heavy duty come-along ratchet cables. What kind of ratchet straps do you recommend and why? ...Also, what tension is the "correct" amount of tension on the ratchet straps/cables? How hard do you load the suspension for travel?
Below is a link to the ratchet and axle straps that we like to use. You want to make sure the straps are pretty snug. Enough not to come loose, but you also don't want to tighten it so much that it breaks off tabs or tie downs. timmcamis.com/shop/gear/trailer-storage.html
There is quite the debate concerning cross strapping a vehicle. This video from Mac's tie downs explains why cross strapping may not be best. th-cam.com/video/-zw7pICnfzU/w-d-xo.html
All fine and good but nothing worse than a barstool you have bouncing around in the trailer because you forgot to put it away only to show up at the track with dents and scratches from the dam thing.
you're awesome brother Tim!!!
The bladers are nice .. I always use struts I made to lock suspension on my bikes and cars!
Great advice. Thank you.
I also like to ensure the kill switch is shutoff while I transport.
Yes sir, A Must Do
Do you recommend transporting in Neutral, with bladders and straps?

Too bad it's impossible to find the bladders on your site for sale!
I've fixed dozens of dragster frames over the years from being bounced to death in the trailer.
You make any door frames with windows for 65 El Camino
40 years ago we used truck inner tubes, the bladders are more better!

DOT says you're supposed to check the car after 5 miles of driving
And retighten it
@@bigredracer7848 The DOT can fuck off.
I hate x-ing straps and chains it really makes chains chafe

Something made in USA fool out of that valve
How do you how do you put a new phone put in the right part if your old one broke and how often do I update my he fell in the Wind that my questio?
use a axle strap around the axle. the shocks won't be compressed and under stress. bladder not needed
Clearly, you neither watched the video, nor understood why the bags are necessary.
Uses straps made in China LMAO
