Default Advice on transporting lowered car?

Waz up guys, like many of you my car is lowered and my front spoiler is even lower. How can this car be towed / transported? I had it tried to be picked up this morning in SoCal to be brought out here to H-town and there was no way they could put it on the transport truck without severely scratching and possibly damaging the front spoiler so I had to cancel. At this point my only option is to fly back and drive it back here. My car is only 1.25" lower than oem, but the Reiger front makes it about 2"+ lower and that's the biggest problem.

Default i've seen people use 2x4's to "step" the car up to ramp height...

i.e. place a 2x4 longways between the front tire and the ramp of the flatbed. pull the car up onto the 2x4, and that should raise the front of the car up enough to clear the ramp.

other things could be used in place of 2x4's.

H-Town roads and those in Cali are WAAAAAY different. You may not want to have that lip spoiler on when you drive it here.
