@Bryce Czirr who cares, just get some off eBay or whatever. I had some and they looked great, plus no need to upgrade the grille. Or get the 7.5 lights, either way the car will look much better and more high end.

Generally a rule of thumb I go for when dialing in preload on the springs, is about a half inch spring compression in the front. Different manufacturers may be different or even come with a preset preload and not recommended to change it. As far as the rear, put the wheel on with a couple bolts....adjust the collars on the spring perch, then jack up the suspension so it's sitting on the suspension and not on the lift as much as you safely can and see where it's at. Trial and error and adjustment....continue to adjust the rear spring perch until you get the height where you want, then roll in the shock in to match the height. The weight of the car is the preload.

Instead of taking out the axel, I removed the 3 bolts at the bottom of the control arm and pushed down on the control arm and lifted the ball joint bolts up off the control arm. That way I didn’t have to take out the axel.

Your explanation of adjusting ride height based on measuring the shocks/springs is 100% not how that works at all btw. A factory spring could be 20 inches tall compared to an aftermarket spring being let’s say 15 inches can produce the same ride height. It’s all about how the spring is designed and what the spring rate is. Following the directions from the manufacturer is always the best way to do things. Also the two upper lock rings you were talking about adjust the “preload” of the springs. You’re not changing the spring rate. It’s just putting tension on the spring so that it can’t unseat itself if you’re driving the car hard and the shock unloads. Like going over a bump fast. In the split second you’re coming down from the bump and your suspension unloads the spring can slip out of its position from under the top hat and bind up when the suspension settles back down.
