I usually use chains hooked around the front axle ( perhaps with a rag in between to prevent rubbing) with a bolt past the hook through the chain as a safety should a hook come undone for some reason, obviously the bolt holds no load normally, but would work more like a safety chain. Then I have a safety wired clevis in the hitch and a chain binder/ or large strap in the rear. Now I like straps really well, but sometimes it's hard to hook them without being on a sharp edge, and they really don't like sharp edges..... Then of course I always keep an eye on the load and check straps/chains whenever it looks like it might be moving, and whenever I stop for fuel Etc.
