Advice for tow tmrw morning !!!

Whats up everyone

So i'm having my car towed tomorrow morning to have some work done at a shop. The car is lowered about 1.5-1.8 inches all around and has a JP Vizage lip in the front (pretty damn low in the front). Also an ark exhaust that hangs sorta low in the back.

Im now trying to figure out the most managable way to have this thing towed without damaging any of the car. After doing some quick research i've come up with what I think are the 2 simplest solutions

1. take the front bumper off prior to tow
2. put the front on 2x4s to ease it on the bed

What are your guys opinions? Its going to be super early morning so I think the 2x4s are the easiest solution but the car also does nto start so I will have to manage a way to roll it on without power. I'd rather avoid having to take the bumper off as the car sits outside and its super cold here in VA.

Anyone with other suggestions? What are the risks involved with the 2x4 method?
I've looked over this thread and will be taking most precautions prior to the tow:

Who's towing it? They should be responsible for any damage. I wouldn't take anything off. Let them worry about it.

its being covered by my insurance but they are super picky- if they see any potential damage occuring they wouldnt even attempt it just to avoid any litigation

Just because they're responsible for it doesn't mean it's okay. Most company will almost always refuse to pay for all damages.

Personally bro, I'd raise the car back up and remove the front bumper. Take pictures of everything, video if you can. Be nice to the person towing. Don't tell them how to do their job, and try to spark a connection so you guys are "cool."

yeah i think thats what im planning. its srzly going to be a PITA but i'd rather be safe than sorry.

The last thing i need is a ****ed up bumper before going in for the work it already needs. Not to mention the paint on entire front end is less than 6 months old.
