I always did an "X" front and "X" back loading the springs to make the bounce go away. I also had additional short axle straps for the rear. If you don't have "J" hooks they are pretty cheap and work well. Avoid the cloth webbing rubbing on anything. But then you aren't going very far either!!

Check trailer tires. If one out of 4 is low on air trailer will start fishtailing on you at speed and that can get ugly.
