I got the "J-hooks" as Brad suggested for the front straps. They work really well because the hooks are fairly long and sturdy, and the holes in the underside of the (frame rail?) are not too much bigger than the hooks. So I am much happier with those than when I was using the "T-hook" in the jacking point hole, which was not as positive a grab due to larger hole size and shorter hook arm. I'm still using the T-hooks in the back (cross-strapped) because I don't yet know of a similar hole in the back for J-hooks.

I still have my parking brake but need to get rid of it for weight. But I do like having it as a little extra peace of mind on the trailer, to avoid Laurie's nightmare situation occurring on the road!
