I'm the same way. While the X was on jackstands with the wheels/rotors removed I touched up the black finish on the sheet metal behind the rear wheels (just below the plastic wheelwell insert), wirewheeled/cleaned/anti-seized hubs, cleaned springs, cleaned/conditioned the plastic undertray and brake lines, cleaned/conditioned airride bags and lubed EVERY bolt/nut/fastener/link in sight (shot the hub axle nuts with rust penetrant) while on a creeper. Used the floorjack under the hub carriers to unload the airbags for rear balljoint/control arm play inspection.
