I have been looking into moving so I was going to put my Ep on a UHaul 2 wheel dolly and let the eps rear wheels stay on the ground. Well, UHaul says it cannot be done with our car because the car is to low and will hit the ground. So I asked about the flat bed trailer and they said no again because it will not make it up the ramp without hitting... Is this true? How can I get my car to where I am going now?
I really wanted to use the 2 wheel dolly it's only $258.00 as opposed to $560.00 for the flat bed.

If its too low it may not work on a 2 wheel dolly but you could get it on a flat bed using some 2x4's. Thats how we get the race cars on and off the trailers. ;)

if my car on progress springs can make it up my driveway and onto the alignment rack, then it can make it up a trailer.

With the stock height it can be towed on a 2 wheel UHaul dolly??

i had it towed on a flat bed truck when i broke a cv joint. I dont think it would be a problem to have it towed on a uhaul. Dont take my advice though i'm no expert

My EP got towed for parking for fifteen minutes in a near empty lot that had tiny do-not-park signs posted well away from where I parked the car. Then they charged me a hundred and fifty dollars and wouldn't let me pick it up until the next day when they had a half hour window that they allowed you to come and pick it up. They put it on a flatbed. Fucking pissed me off. I still want to firebomb the goddam place.

you are lucky. my ep got towed 35 miles backwards in first gear with the front wheels on the ground. the ahole towed me from an apt complex and stickered everyone else. i don't know how it is where you are but in dallas there isn't a thing you can do about it and there is no way you are ever going to get any money out of the tow company. those wrecker people are a bunch of sorry smelly hellbound creeps.
