Congrats! ^^^

I haven't tried flipping my springs yet but I did reseat the top nut. While the nut was off and with the top bolt out of the way, I stuck the nut into the ball joint and just used a socket wrench to move the ball joint around to hopefully loosen it.

Set preload to zero, without the extra two turns. The pinging was gone from the driver's side for a couple of turns, then it returned. Both sides are pinging lightly now. Will probably try the spring flipping within the next week.
