Car trailer

Trailering a car for the first time tomorrow. Anyone have any tips to offer as far as securing the car? Rental trailer comes with webs for the front tires and a couple of chains that are supposed to looped loosely around the frame. Wouldnt it be a better idea to cinch down the frame to the trailer loading the suspension a little. Thanks in advance for any advice

I criss cross the rear axle and trie down to the front control arms. I do not load the suspension. Rememer to are doubling the weight so your stop space is much less. Watch you tire pressure in the trailer. Run them at max PSI.
