Default To you guys using open trailers

What are you attaching your tie-downs to? I have been using the tow hooks, but they seem to be loosening before reaching destination. Someone told me I should try connecting to suspension rather than the body. Any opionions?

Yes they are ratchet tie-downs. The trailer does not have d-rings now, I might add them in the future though. I have just been attaching to the frame of the trailer.
