Expert Reply:

Tow-Rax Low-Profile Floor Track for Tie-Down Anchors - Aluminum - 6' Long - Machined - Qty 1 # TWSP72TA. This system when using the Tie-Down Anchor for Tow-Rax Low-Profile Floor Track - 1,666 lbs - Qty 1 # TWSPDSTD225 have a working limit of the 1666 lbs listed and a break strength of 5000 lbs.

I recommend using a system like this along with something like the Tow-Rax Removable Wheel Chock w/ Wood Screws - 6-1/2" Wide Tires - Tubular Steel - Chrome # TWSPWC.

For tie down straps, I recommend the Soft Loops # 06303 along with straps like # EM34410.
