Love the look of that exhaust Jeff, so sexy! I have a low profile jack now, but I used to use that same AC Delco jack you have. It was a pain in the ass because when you go too low you need to drive up on wood to be able to use it.

Yeah I have a low profile jack that goes up to 18 1/2 inches and if you jack on the rear tow hood it fits fine. The front is a different story.
I was just using that little jack to get up a little further and to pick up the corners before tightening down to final torques.
But it has come in handy over the years.
I guess I am not low enough yet then since I don't need to drive onto stuff to get a jack under my car.

Ok not much of an update. My coils won't go any lower. Found a broke mount by pass side lower control arm.
Need to order a new one, install motor mounts and torque dampener, and now thanks to rockstar I need to order shifter bushings.
Any info on spring pre-loading from members more versed on suspension would be greatly appreciated. You can feel free to post links in here.
Plus found out the place I was waiting for some AR15 lowers from has went to bed with an anti-gun mayor and police chief so I cancelled my orders today. Put me back a little bit, but will have pictures of my newest ar15 builds soon as well.
But I did half ass wash the car and got to take some pics today.

Yeah I thought the +32 would have been a little more flush. I may go to -1 camber in rear instead of -1.5, and thinking about getting skunk2 front upper control arms now.
But I knew I was gonna tuck when I got coils. I don't care much for HELLAFLUSH and stretched tires.
Any pics of the broken mount you're referring to? I'm curious about this now. As far as preload goes, there's not much you should have to do. The spring on the coilover assembly should be pre-preloaded from the manufacturer. If you want to double check, the spring height should be right at 7 inches, no less. The spring should be snug between the two ring collars, but you should still be able to twist the spring by hand if you try.
My coils are maxed low and still 1/2 inch higher then machine on same coils. Somethings not right.
The top perches were loose when I got the coils so I just tightened them up. Need to check distances. The coil is firm between the perches but will spin a little inside when lifted up.
Still investigating.

+32 is fine. I'm at +30...but on a 9" wide wheel. I'm not stretching at all either.

Just bought a new truck today:
Thats for the wife though. Hope she enjoys it. Gonna try and clean it up some and detail it. Thats gonna be a lot of wax.
And in the process of doing these. But this may have to wait another week or so to install onto the car.
Should be fun when installed. They are even brighter in person.
This will give me a chance to order spacers as well. 15mm front and 20mm rears.

Motor / fluids all look good. Everythings clean on it. Rides nice and a lot quieter than our van. Brakes and tires are good.
As long as the wife is happy.
And its probably a good thing I backed out of installing waffles last minute today. Gives me time to get spacers and put a couple more coats on. Would hate to need 1 or 2 more coats while I still had a can or so of dip left and had the chance. They will be on in 2 weeks or less.

And yes Austin these wheels are hellasunk.
I had to hold off on purchasing spacers for now. Had 2 kids get their tonsils taken out couple weeks ago, that took meh spacer money.

Must be the 46 coats of paint??? j/k
And before the need to shine your tires.
I rarely "shine" my tires. I clean them with tuff stuff and call it a day. But I did not today. I have some pink overspray on the tires that I need to address but parents rolled into town this morning so I am just going to drive it and get some other stuff done before heading to KC.
