I found there was quite a bit of side-to-side sway and had to add extensions to the trailer frame on either side of the hitch receiver to use as anchor points that I could tie the column to with ratchet straps to eliminate the movement. Think of a triangle at the bottom of the rack, with its apex about 1/3 of the way up the column.
