Flipside is, overcompress the forks and you'll blow a seal. Really, 2-3 inches is good enough. Without your added weight, the bike's suspension is effectively oversprung and overdampened, plus the trailer itself has some suspension, even if it's just the tires. The straps won't slack enough to fall over from ordinary jostling. Especially if you're strapped into a wheel chock. And don't go buckwild with ratchet straps either. Cambuckles are quicker, easier, and safer when it comes to lashing down a bike.
