What a great idea, just like how a Mopar should be tied down. By it's axle.
Now we need a good idea for the front.

Now we need a good idea for the front. Tab welded on the lower control arm perhaps? Of course, allowing a car to bounce on its suspension on a trailer is putting the same mileage/use/heat into the shocks as if you actually drove it there. That's not always a good thing for a race suspension.

Of course, allowing a car to bounce on its suspension on a trailer is putting the same mileage/use/heat into the shocks as if you actually drove it there. That's not always a good thing for a race suspension. True IMO it's the lesseer of the evils. IMO leaving the suspension move on the vehicle being towed takes some of the stress off the trailer suspension and tires. I have towed our street cars 110,000 miles in the last 8 years with no apparent wear on the cars being towed and have never had a flat tire on the trailer or any damage to the trailer. Now when I haul our durango with more suspension travel I did tie down both to keep the durango from going up and down on the trailer while on the trailer. I didn't like the look of it in my mirrors going up and down. Towed almost 4000 miles on this trip out west.

They were advertised on the "parts for sale" a year ago. They are sandwiched between the rear shock plate and leaf spring. I bought a pair for my GTS. I have the machined tabs that Mancini sells on the front. Not sure who the member was that built the rear plates.
Here's a couple of pics of the tie downs on my car

You don't actually think these guys read the posts do you? I don't know if that is sarcasm towards me or people that posted after my first posting where I said who makes them... Plus my first post was vague. I'll message him on facebook so he responds here.

Here's a couple of pics of the tie downs on my car I have the AR engineering tabs sold through mancini on the front and think these plates in the back will be an excellent compliment to them. The tabs on the front work really well and makes strappping down a cinch
