Mine was already torn down give vbp a call, great people to work with. The bigger the kit the more discount. Here is the rear.

Would an alignment with the monobar front be done the same way as stock, with shims? Or is it a different process? Still learning about this system so I'm soaking it all now before I buy it and install it. It'll be next on my things to do list, after the 2004R.
