For you guys that are strapping your car down by the frame, where are you attaching the tie-down straps and what type of strap end are you using?

I want to tie the car down by the frame to prevent suspension motion and wear on the suspension from bouncing in the trailer that would result from strapping the car down by the tires.

I know earlier posts talk about locations front and rear.
Where in the front exactly? I looked and with the front belly pan installed, I didn't see any access to the frame slots. Interested in where others are attaching straps.
One of the posts above stated use the slot in the lower control arm for the rear location. Isn't this about the same as strapping thru the wheel or over the tire? I don't think it would limit suspension motion. I always tied down my drag cars so that the suspension was compressed to prevent excessive wear on the shocks.
