I had to LOL in real life too and log into this account I have only lurked on just to state how hard this made ma laugh.

I am currently looking into the same thing and may be towing my 2018 600+ miles shortly. I did see wooden blocks used at the front to get over the lip, and glad to know the 1LE will fit with the wide tires. You guys are life-savers! I have been scouring the internet all day for information!

alright i have the exact answer you need as i travelled from west coast to east coast with my zl1 on one of those trailers.
as far as fitment the car will fit on the trailer, however i hope you have a sledge hammer handy. the front lip of the trailer where the ratchet strap ratchets, its right above the ratchet part needs to be hit down just a little bit so the front lip doesnt grab. in the center where the car first comes off the ramp and onto the trailer itself there is a V-shape of a slant that also needs to be hit down a little bit, especially if you had subframe connectors and lowered like mine is. dont worry about uhaul raising a stink about it as they wont even notice it. i watched them do the after inspection on mine when i turned it in, they had no clue.
as far as weight being an issue, no problem whatsoever. i put the car on the trailer and filled the car with a ton of stuff and had no issues at all. drove form california to north carolina even in a snow storm with like 4 inches of snow. wasnt worried one bit
hope this helps you man, any questions feel free to ask. i check this forum twice a day
