Mikey, I get your concern and methodology.
I just never liked compressing expensive racing springs for days or weeks at a time.
You know the new car transporters chain the frame and crank them way down for clearance and stability. May be okay for your new car, on a one time basis ;-)
I think maybe crossed straps on the housing and then maybe snap on a couple of safety hooked chain to limit any upward movement..Just a thought..
