Its really hard to tell from the pictures. But the pivot of the arms should be at the same level as the bolt holes on that bracket that held the stock arm. And in the same location width wise as the stock arm. Thats the best I can tell you. And spindles would help. You should be able to get your balljoints at NAPA or similar store.

what about the distance from stock out to the spindle?? what exactly am i gaining or losing??
ball joints were like $200 locally...so i opted to screw local money..and get all 4 for $68.....

If the control arm is longer than stock you will get less camber change. But if its longer than stock, but the pivot is in the stock location it may cause some problems, such as positive camber.
