I can't remember but did you say if you were going to smooth over the engine bay or not? Just wondering how you were going about that if you were going to?

You should definitely find a chassis shop that can get your weight at all 4 wheels...

because dump scales are usually way off, and are usually one big pad so you dont know what your weight distribution is

Getting the weight distribution and also you can set up the rear suspension in order to even things out.
