4 axle straps, 4-6' chains, 4 ratchet binders, less than 10 minutes, secured for ever, or until your tires leak down....wear gloves and wash your trailer every once in a while, keep your buggy/jeep leak free you won't get dirty
If your rig's body sway affects your trailer tracking, you need a heavier trailer...

Agreed, however I have the lightest trailer that will carry my rig. When towing with a gasser it is important that I don't have any unnecessary weight.
The jeep secured by axle only allows the frame, body, engine etc to sway around. No sway bar plus link suspension in the back, high cog on trailer all equal a wild ride.
Plus even with chains and ratchet binders, the wheelbase changes of the rear links was hell while towing.
Again No matter what, the frame has to be somewhat secured/tied down to ensure tie-ing down the axles is secure.
I kept the ratcheting binders greased which that and the chains themselves is what led to always being dirty.
I trust the chains and binders over straps as a pinch point will not cut a chain. But the straps are more convenient and weigh much less.
I wouldn't feel comfortable using chains hooked to a nylon axle strap though.
I'm definitely not going to spend that much for the machine lifting rings.
If I were, I'd go buy a Cummins with the brodozer tax, a gooseneck, and be in debt for the next 10 years. But that's not me.
Returning to the original question, just for pot stirring sake.
How is hooking to a hole in the rock ring more dangerous or less effective than hooking to a tab welded to the axle ?
