5,000 pound straps are a step up from the 3,300s, and will probably do fine, but I much prefer chains.

I'm not famliar with the spreader you describe, but for both ends (2x5,000 on the rear and 6,000 on the front) will be both legal and more than adequate for an H, properly secured to tractor and trailer.

Tying to the tractor whenever possible, and not the wheels, will also give you more downward force. Bind her down enough to squat the tires a little.

Grade 8s might be a little brittle in an emergency. 5s are better at giving before they break. But if you stress things enough to break a Grade 8, you'll already be in a real mess anyway. 5s in that case might serve only to limit the already considerable damage.

Happy Motoring and safe travels!

That's my two cents.
