I hang my rings using climbing gear. It gives me an easy way to adjust ring height from pull-ups all the way down to ring pushups, in 3" increments. The rings are always level.
I hang long daisy chains from the ceiling. I girth hitch a 30cm pre-sewn runner/sling around each ring, and hang them from the daisy chains using a non-locking carabiner.
Edit: Here's a picture of the setup and a closeup of the rings/runner/carabiner.

"non locking climbing carabiner" is what you want. I don't buy gear i plan to actually climb on through Amazon because there have been issues with knock-offs getting into the mix by drop shipment fulfillers, but you are fine for "utility" gear.
Gander Mtn has ENO Atlas Straps, but their climbing carabiner stock is nearly nonexistent. You may as well go to amazon for those.
Here's a good one,

Whatever you get, make sure they're good climbing rated ones. They're rated in KiloNewtons and 1KN is about 225 Ft-Lbs of force, this one is rated at 22 KN, so not quite 5K Ft-Lbs. Plenty strong for hammocking.
