[QUOTE="Ring Sport, post: 1534935, member: 55172"] Think about it. The bumper is right on the ground. How do you suppose a tow truck is going to get chains onto the axle and pull it out at a straight angle with the bumper on the ground? You can't hook the axle from the side and pull it out without risking screwing up brake lines and what not that would be attached to the backside of the wheel. As well as screwing up the body. And hooking the bumper is a big no no as you risk pulling the whole backside of the package car off. I have seen that personally happen and the driver was charged with an accident because of it. Tow truck wasn't involved as it was a rural route and a farmer offered to pull him out of being stuck. Brownwrench had the right idea, lumber and a floor jack. [/QUOTE]
