By far the easiest method I one I learned from Charlie Fitton. Use the winch to pull the carrier almost all the way up onto the deck. Tilt the deck back up. Use two axle hooks and hook them on the axle housing of the carrier. At the back of the truck deck there is usually spots in the deck to have the chain "hook" into. Then using the winch pull the nose of the carrier down. This does two things. #1 is that it will tighten the rear chains right up and #2 it pulls the nose down taking a lot of bounce out from the suspension. Then use two chains and cross chain the front. Use the two tow lugs and binders on the chains and you are ready to go.
