Looking to go pick up an 04 Cobra this weekend and I am trying to figure out if the car will fit on a UHAUL vehicle trailer with H&R race springs... I don't want to murder the undercarriage/front end.

Anyone know?

Thanks

On the galvanized trailer not the old orange ones, I had to remove the front tire chocks. Just 2 bolts on each side... Found a spot to use a slot/curb to help the approach angle and used some 2x10s

Yup, bring some 2x12” planks, probably 10’ in length or so and some 2x4’s 12”in length to support the 2x12s from sagging. Not happening without them

you don't want the orange one. talk to the uhaul dealer and tell them what you need.

Copy that. I called and they said they have a 6k, and 7k trailer. Said the ones they have are primarily silver that says uhaul on the side in orange.

I have a buddy who may let me use his trailer. Fingers crossed.

I'll report back when it's all complete.

Yes the primarily galvanized one is the correct one

Take a floor jack. You can jack up the tongue of the trailer, while attached to the truck. This will reduce the angle going from the ramps to the trailer floor.
I used to use U-haul trailers and found them to tow very good.
Check the tire pressures yourself. Better to air them up and not be stranded on the side of the road.

My buddy would drive the back tires of the truck up onto ramps.
