I built three of these, placing 1 under the front crossmember centered, and 1 on the frame in front of each rear wheel (you'll see where the frame sweeps up, I place them there.)
These ensure that the suspension doesn't air down and thus loosen up your straps or chains. It's also really tough to chain down a truck that lays frame if you air it all the way down onto the trailer deck, which is the other option.

This sounds like a "great solution". I would never trust it to not leak down.
