Made a deal and going to pickup this 2017 king ranch f450 on monday. 192k miles. Immaculate shape other than a couple of scuffed plasicts on the bed and a dent from a trailer. Feel like we got a good deal on it. Looking forward to it!

If everything goes well tomorrow, I should be bringing the F-450 home. Plan is to grab my buddies trailer on the way down to jacksonville and tow the suburban back with the F-450. Any tips on strapping down the suburban? Rear I don't have an issue with since I can strap to the rear axle. But never had to tie down anything with an independent front suspension. There are recovery hooks on the front, but I would hate for the straps to come down as the suspension compresses and rebounds. Not sure of any better points though and looking for suggestions. Have axle straps and 4 10 foot straps with axle loops built into them as well.

I've always put an axle strap through the lower control arms when hauling something with ifs.

I was thinking that but wasn't sure about it since it's a moving part in my eyes haha. But it's the only thing i can think of up front side from tire straps which i don't have
 
lower a arms, or through the rims if the style allows.
 
Not my most graceful tow but she pulled her like she wasn't there before 60. Above 60 and it was obvious the suburban needed to be further forward. Limitations of the short trailer though. Got her home!
