Shoot me down if i'm missing something as i havn't read even 5% of this massive thread... but couldn't you raise the coilovers for the day of the rollers by a few mm?

Even if it meant you had to get the alignment done again surely this is going to soon be cheaper than days wasted trying to get on the rollers? lol.

As brad says its your sump which is likely to be an issue, if its standard height then you should be ok!
