"Fine" Just ask Grippy. He saw me in action.
I got him to do most of the strenuous stuff on Monday.

My spring mod decisions turned out to be a bit conservative
so it was more like a 1-2 drop instead of a 2-3.

p.s.; I've been lurking around at your G8 project.
Keep posting.

We re-arched the rear springs for the rear drop, all leaf springs intact

I don't think so, changed out the stock bump stops with the low pro variety.
