I'm using the trailer's factory D-rings at the rear, since they're sure to be strongest and tie-down is simplest that way. I have E-Track set up at the front as shown here, though I have not yet towed with it in this configuration. This is way easier than fishing axle straps through the front wheels, and likely less damaging to my alignment.
The E-Track idlers are the key to making this simple, since they let you put the ratchet somewhere that it's easy to reach.
Nice! Did you secure any of the e-track to the frame? I like the idea of using it up front only. Do you find the raised e-track causes any tripping?

This is screwed into the frame rails, however I am also going to put backing plates on the non-frame fasteners that go through the plywood floor, similar to what is on the factory D-rings. E-trailer sells them on the web for around $4 each, which seemed worth the trouble they would be to make.
This is strapped down at the moment as a proof of concept. It was dead easy, and I don't find the track is tall enough to trip on (yet).
