why do you need it towed? i suppose if you call out a towtruck, the worst that would happen is you would have to remove the front bumper. not the end of the world, but still a pain.

I need it towed because my tranny blew on me. How hard is it to take off the bumper?

hehehe ...wheel gap ain't so bad now eh?LOL......

I guess you could jack the car , then hook it up to a regular tow truck, or slide the flatbed under the raised car.

If the tow guy knows what he is doing..he should be able to get your car up on the flatbed using wood boards. I had mine towed like that twice...and I'm lowered 1.7 with a bodykit...no scrapes.

A wheel lift tow will grab just about any car, no matter how low it is.
