Default Towing A Supra

I have to move a 92 supra and was going to use a car dolly. I was told that the chin on the supra is too low and I will not be able to drive the car onto the ramp. Does anyone have any suggetions or any other help would be appriciated.

Cool

2X6 boards to lessen the angle

there is a ball right in the center of the trailer/doly that is a radiator wrecker
using some baords to take away the steep pitch of the dolly ramps should help
^\ ramp
^\--------- put the boards on the ramps

get the idea?

Are talking about one of those kind that you rent from Uhaul, that only gets 2 wheels off the ground ?

If so, and you have an automatic transmission, don't tow without disconnecting the drive shaft. You will fry the trans.

5 speed will be ok in neutral.

Don't forget to release the parking brake.

All went very well with the tow. We had to use two 2x6 boards under the ramp to reduce the angle of the lift. The front chin spoiler would have contacted the ramp if we did not use the boards. Thanks for the help
