One trick you probably want to NOT do is to replace the lift links with chains.
(I'm calling them that, but have a suspicion that it isn't their "proper" name.)
Anyhow, although short lengths of chain will allow you to get the best balance of transport clearance height and depth, they will also allow it to go to the path of least resistance when it finds obstructions.
I suppose there are times when this could be good, but generally having it flop around from side to side isn't getting the depth you want and probably leads to damage eventually.
