Having anything,whether it's a stabilizer,block of wood etc. in the front and jack stands or what ever on the rear is the key to stopping up and down movement.Tie downs alone will not restrict up and down movement.I think Einstein or Billy Nees said that.

i use frame hooks that i got from truck tow. they hook into the frame at the factory tie down points, keeps the bouncing up and down at a minimum.

The way I tie it down doesn't drop the suspension.So the springs are at pretty much at static height front and rear.
Bob,sit down loosen the top button on your shirt and have a tall one.

I found a method to keep the car from moving while in transit.

I put the car in the trailer, close the ramp and fill the trailer with expanding foam until it runs out the side door, nothing moves while you're traveling but it's a b**ch to get the car out!

Don't try this at home.
