Any of you really low dudes get your car on a trailer without raising your car and taking off your front bumper? Have an event coming up and this will be the first time I haven't driven my car there/put my car on a trailer. Don't want to risk messing up my alignment settings and/or waste seat time lowering my car the morning of.

I'm going to the GGP event on June 5th. Going to be there Ian?

I know it can be done with putting the rear of the truck up on ramps and combinations of 2x4's and other lengths of wood for the trailer ramps. I'm not really worried about scraping, more about getting the car stuck lol. If I have to take the bumper off then so be it, just don't want to lose my alignment settings or seat time.

Got question...
I'm running 19x10.5+2 255/35 F 19x10.5 -3 265/30 R
It's not the wildest stretch just enough for me
I'm slapping them on Saturday, planning on running pretty low ...my Q is what kind of camber specs should I consider running?

^ in my past experience, I just drop it and let natural camber take over. If it looks like your gonna rub I would roll / pull your fenders more. Ride around for a lil bit then take it to an alignment shop and ask them to match the camber to the one that has the most camber.

Example would be – driver side at - 3.2 and passenger side is at - 3.5, ask them to make the driver side 3.5. Or if you want a lil camber adjust it according when its on the alignment machine.

I’ve worked on a s2000, g sedan, g coupe and 2 350z’s and used the approach I documented above and it worked out.

Oh I'm aware of needing to roll/pull fenders.
I roll fenders over here in Nola all the ttime and just did mine this weekend.
Front come sorta rolled from factory but I still rolled them n are completely flat . Same for rear.
I may do what you suggested. It didn't occur to me.
Thanks for input. Can't wait
