On std transport car trailers, the slope of the ramp is too steep for this car, necessitating the spacers. I image a car transport company with an enclosed trailer has a much more gentle slope on the access ramp. Some even run parallel to the ground (ie no slope).

Ask them what sort of ramp they have and how low a car can get on it. You have only abt 3 or 4 in of clearance.

Good luck with your new ride. :headbang:

As said, the spacers raise the car for clearance issues. As long as there is not an issue with the transport vehicle, you should be fine.
