May seem like over kill but I'd rather do that then risk having a chain come apart and tear things up when you're trying to get through a bad spot.

Great ideas. I have two bottle jacks (12 tons each), jack stands, and a hydraulic lift that will be in the truck with me. For both the truck and the trailer I have a heavy duty nylon cargo net that goes across the top and anchors to a set of D-rings
No such thing as overkill when you're doing a 7,000+ mile trip. I appreciate you guys going over this with me.
