fbody trailer tie down strap question

If I have this type of tie down hooks on my straps with these fit into the premade holes behind the front tires on all f-bodies?

If you're referring to the holes in the subframe, no they will not fit. You'll need a "Double J" style hook for hooking there. That's why I use on my car, works like a charm.

there was just a good thread about this like last week. I posted pics and the PN for good hook, and the different factory hook points, and other spots for the normal drag mods to strap too.

maybe try a local trailer rental, I know the bigger Uhaul places have straps, chains, stuff like that. Or a trailer dealer.
Summit can over night them too, or 2 day air. order them tonight ground might even been weds.

I found some that have forged g70 j hooks in a cluster and I just ordered a set of those too, the vendor says they will be here thursday, time will tell on both orders.

Since we all have fbodys and if your trailer is an 18ft, where do you find your "sweet spot" is as fas as where to position the car on the trailer for effective weight distribution and a balanced ride? Sorry for all of the newb trailer questions, just picked it up saturday.
