Good advice. I'm not too old yet, but I'm
too fat to get too far under the car - know what I mean? LOL

J-hooks was the best
investment I ever made with the exception of my electric wench. Don't
skimp on the short ones, go for the full size. As I get older the reach
with the shorter ones is a bit much at times but still beats wrapping chains
around the control arms. I secure the rear and use chain binders up
front.

I think that's what I will do - get me a
set of J hooks for the front.
Thanks,
Larry

Trailering Your Chevelle
I have trailered
many cars over the years probably a good 20K miles worth. I use J
hooks around the rear axle and J hooks around the lower control arms in
front. Let the suspension move all it wants as long as the axles are
tight to the trailer. On fancy "coated" frame I will slip heater
3/4" heater hose over the J hooks. Never had one come loose on
me.

Trailering Your Chevelle
When I first
went to the trailer supply store yesterday, my intention was to buy the
straps that wrap around the tire like you see on car dollies. It was
explained to me that I would have to basically install a ratcheting
crank (not sure what it's called) and a D ring for each side so you can
secure the straps to the trailer. Since we use this trailer to haul just
about everything, placing the crank where it needed to go was not an
option. Basically, I need to hook or wrap a strap around four
points.
