You are so correct. I hauled a pw on an aluminum 7k trailer from CT to MA (about 100 miles) and the whole way I watched the trailer flex. No more. I broke my piggy bank and got a 12k tilt bed with torsion axles and it was worth every dime. I also got sick and tired of chains with load binders and ratchet straps and while looking at a towing forum it was clear to me they prefer the straps and ratchet that go over the tire. I purchased a set that was recommended by the guys and it works fantastic. I still use the 3" straps with ratchet as a secondary safety net.
