Well not to detract from the OP but you did not say what truck you have, Year, Make, and Model. Otherwise have you looked into Torklift or Happijacor maybe a set of custom or homebuilt tiedowns such as thse found in the TCU thread here.
Sorry I am using a tiny iPod to type today. Anyways I have a 76 amerigo TC that weighs approx 2700 dry . I have hauled it once (16 hours home) on a triton v 10 Ford dialog 3500. Already on my truck are 2 belly bars ,frame mounted. The tie downs attached to the belly bars are connected to the actual jacks mounted to the TC. There are additional eye hooks on the rig that were used to tie down, that I could use to tie in to a secondary system. I don't know why... Maybe because I am new to baling a TC... I just feel the need for a backup for safety sake.
