Get the adjustable toe links for the rear as well, it makes the alignment so much easier and you don’t have to compromise between perfect camber or toe. You can have both
Also, you have the option of lowering the cradle to get the forward lower control arm bolts out OR you can buy 2 new bolts to install backwards and simply cut the orig 2 bolts saving the labor of lowering the cradle. And definitely use the Carlyle conversion.
Yet another tip would be get get the rubber sealing boots from summit for the rod ends on the control arms, and the tool to put them on. Once installed on the rod end, you can pull up the lip and stick the tube from a can of lithium grease and squirt a little in there. All this keeps lube on the joint and dirt out so there is very little wear.

So was there any problem with getting the car aligned after installing the 2 inside bolts backwards...currently going that route right now as we speak.
