I have seen cars (not ERAs) that have no preload on them when the car is jacked up and the suspension is hanging down. So long as you have preload when the car is down on the ground, and the ride height is nice, and you're at 49% or more cross-weight, then I would say it's ready for the break-in drive, which should be nice and slow. After a hundred miles of gentle slow driving, you can see how the suspension handles corners out in a big open parking lot where there's nothing to hit should something break loose.
