I would be wondering why the first spring sprung from its spot to make sure it doesn't happen again
I would also apply proper torque to ring gear bolts.. not backing them off just hit them with proper torque to ensure nothing is loose easy peasy keeps murphy away

I figured someone would question as to why the spring left its location, and I don't have a clue. If the preload pack has a defect, it will be corrected with the new parts.
I have a torque wrench that I will be able to check proper torque.
I just had an epiphany:
I always wondered why whenever i seen a nice classic car, there was an old guy driving it. I'd think that a lot of old guys like fast classics.
I'm 62 and have owned my car over 40 years. I'm only just now getting around to trying to finish it.
I always told myself I'll get some money and work on it this weekend. Time flies.
I want to thank everyone for their valuable insight that is greatly appreciated.
