Peter your statement is correct.

To tie down a vehicle for air uplift

You need enough tie down devices for rearward movement to hold twice the gross weight but for forward restraint it needs to increase to 4 times.

Sideways the figure is 1.5 times.

The real secret is to ensure that attachment points on the vehicle and trailer will handle that load
