I would put straps around the trailing arms close to the shock absorbers and cross the straps to prevent lateral movement. In the front, around the a-frames and also cross the straps. A fifth strap from the cradle in the front to the tongue of the trailer. But I always go overboard after I lost a newly painted Camaro off of the trailer when the chain hooks came loose. Luckily it was when leaving a stop light on the way to Indy to race.

Just a bit of advice from the Oem world
you do not strap down the suspension
The reason is is you have all that weight, flexing, vibrating, on the wheel bearings
That was happening and premature failure of wheel bearings peening the race surfaces was noted on brand new vehicles
failure a thousand miles later
Better to find a trailer you can strap down at the wheels
