Transporting on a Uhaul Hauler
Has anyone transported a SS camaro on a car hauler from uhaul. I am afraid of the ground clearance while pulling up the ramps

I'm not sure of the height of the u haul deck I haul mine on a open trailer. Just jack the trailer up as high as you can while hooked to the truck. Have someone watch and go slow if the plastic piece hits stop and try maybe some 2x10 or 2x12 maybe a 5-6 foot piece to "extend" the Ramps. If you know what I mean. With the wood you should be fine if you jack trailer up and use the wood I think it will go on fine.

I've done it a couple of times. My driveway is angled but flat on the top. Backed up so the ramps were flatish. Then I had to put 2 x 10 under the front tires to clear the lip of the trailer. I'm lowered about 1.5 inches. Car towed really well once all was done.

Done it multiple times with lowered car and stock car. On stock height the issue was getting the car back off as the air dam under front was rubbing. Lowered car doesn't have it, been removed.

When I had my Callaway Corvette, I transported it a few times on a uhaul with no problems; it was lowered, had a body kit & sat extremely low...I would guess much lower then your SS

You can always back the truck onto some 2x10s so the back of the truck sets up higher while pushing the tail of the trailer closer to the ground.
