From experience, front first is more stable. If a long tow, remove the rear
axle shafts. With the front up on a dolly the front roller bearing can go
dry and burn up. Yes I have seen it. If going inter state check laws, many
now reqiure towed vehicles to be registered and insured. Does the dolly have
brakes? May be reqiured. Watch signs for wieght stations. Some now require
all towing vehicles to go through. Consider the tow bar approach. Vanagons
tow nicely 4 wheels down.
