    Well after no movement on the tracking, I got them to refund my money. A hollow victory because now I have my money, but I'm out 4 weeks of time. Thinking on just throwing money at a GC setup.......

          Well ended up going with fortune auto coil overs. The 500 series. Ordered from AJ at endless, his prices were pretty good actually

          After some talks with snap, I settled on 8k front, 12k rear. He did some maths and what not and reminded me about my upgraded sway bars and such. He also has experience driving a car with his hr setup and also johns car with the 10k/12k setup and he pushed me towards a happy medium

                      Skid plate was very very close to the oil pan, I blame the chineseum core support. Made some spacers out of 1/8" flat stock to give some room between pan and plate

                      a9f91d4714276f6fa1c7f360cf9bae8f.jpg

                      Then this

                      e48814dbc67d6592edf47252548eeff0.jpg

                      Now there's daylight (about a finger space)

                      fd9de1f1df055fa4d67410ea8bba043c.jpg

                      Also noticed the steering linkage would bind a tad after putting everything back in so I filed the edge down barely.

                      Also did New VC gaskets and used some RTV to keep the oil where it belongs. "Reinstalled" my harness covers as well

                                Hockey pucks would probably work well

                                    +1 for hockey puck to avoid metal-metal with a jack under the diff or frame rails.

                                    For jack stands Harbor Freight has those red covers that work OK on their 3/6 ton stands.

                                    A couple of layers of duct tape is another option to avoid metal on metal contact.

                                        For the jack itself I use folded up rags taped to it so it doesn't scuff
