INDY...
Not to confuse Hardy because you have given him some good advise. While your facts may be a little off if he were to follow your advise he would be working with a good plan.

With that said and for decision purpose only can you explain this
"To comply with D.O.T. regs, you need grade 70 chains."
"No nylon tie-down straps or "cheap" chain"

While I do not know every states laws; Federal DOT has no laws that say this.
In fact if he buys grade 70 chain and the tag falls off of it the DOT will consider it Grade 30.
Nylon straps are only restricted from use on crushed cars by tha DOT. You must use edge protectors and the proper size strap but they can be legally used per DOT.
