Make sure to not compress the shocks too much, you can blow the seals on bumps if you do. More tie-down strength /= more better.

....it didn't budge the entire way home about 50 miles or maybe 75miles.
Tightened mine 1mi after, 5mi after, then checked it three more times and didn't need to tighten again. It needed it those first two times. 120mi.

....but by the time I got home I decided to leave it tied down to the trailer over night and take it off tomorrow in the day-light !
Same as first comment, leaving them compressed is a no-no.
