Even the 3-4" setup only took like 30-45 minutes.

I've got no metal shims. Plus there was the lack of parking brake, so I was constanly fighting with keeping the car on the pads, and at one point the car actually rolled off the pads and crashed into the closed garage door, bending the door a little and putting a nice deep gouge in my rear bumper skin.
It was a shitty night.
Once I got the car "level", I made some adjustments to the suspension to jack the weight, and I *know* I was raising the correct corner, and when I set it all back down, nothing had changed. So I did it again, raising that corner a full inch, and when I set it down, it had changed the wrong way. At that point, I decided my scales weren't set up well enough to get the job done accurately, so I reset the car to normal ride height, and gave up.
All I got out of all that work is that my car weights exactly 3300 lbs w/ me and 1/2 a tank of gas in it. 'Course now I've got a new motor, so who knows what that'll do to the weight... should be close to the same.
