I'm looking for a good set of axle tie down straps. I plan on loading a 2nd Gen CTD onto a trailer to bring home at some point. I've decided that a 24" axle strap is a minimum, and then a ratchet strap to hook onto those.
Rhino USA seems to have a good product.
Mac's seem to be pretty good too.
I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks

The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

A strap on the rear axle will often slide to the side. Outside it is usually towards the shock absorber body, not a great situation. Inside is towards the differential, which is not an ideal place to pull a housing backwards in the middle. I'm sure it's been done 1000' s times before, including by me but for example an 8 1/4 with pressed in axle tubes, was never mean to be pulled by the middle.
What I do not recommend is attaching to anything like the frame. As the car/truck cycles the suspension. The straps will be loose on suspension compression and it will violently hit the straps as it extends.
The best method is holding the tires.
