Other than the obvious?
That it shouldn't travel up by much unless the trailer is falling?

Whelp, some here may lose their minds.
I got straps with chain hooks on the ends as some here suggested. Because of the length of those chains and the length of my trailer, I couldn't get even close to tight if I connected the front axle to the front of the trailer, same for the back.
So I strapped the rear axle to the front of the trailer and the front axle to the rear of the trailer.
Due to available connection points on the trailer, I ended up going parallel front front to back, and crossed from back to front.
Got a late start so only made about 300 miles today but I stopped many times to check everything. Straps are tight and I don't think the Jeep shifted one millimeter.

If I stop fast enough to flip the Jeep front-to-back then I'm already fucked.if you came to a quick stop. Rear end someone, is it possible for the jeep to flip over towards your truck.
No, taller trailer roof.
I'll have 83-85" from top of drive over fenders to the ceiling. Jeep is 77"(ish) at ride height but 14" coilovers with 7" up available = 84". Is it worth adding another increment of 6" to the trailer height?
What about airing down before driving in?

I'm thinking that could be a good option. Or swap in shorter limit straps during transit.

that chain hooked onto the bottom of that channel is no good, at minimum i'd wrap it around and hook the top. none of that is right but that hooked like that is just extra risk.

Sorry if i missed it, what size is your trailer? Where are you taking the Jeep?
Nice looking place up in Van Alstyne. I've been talking to the wife about moving out that direction.
