Question regarding lowered suspension

Sorry for all the questions as the e350 is fairly new to me.

Im looking into the h&r lowering springs and from what I understand the ride becomes a bit harsh. This isnt a big concern as I drove an is300 before and we also own a Audi q5. My question is does the car still fit on standard lifts and tow trucks? I used to have a lowered civic when I was younger and it was a pain to get oil changes and new tires.

The drop is only 1.2 and 1.4 inches. Didn't compromise ride quality much at all. Due to the design and cut of the front bumper, you still have a ton of clearance.

I have a set of H&R springs used for sale. 3k miles on them. Make me an offer. Sold my car.
