Thats exactly what i'm gonna do

Well I had ordered some adjustable bushing ends.. but I'm not gonna use those cuz i was thinkin bout it and you wouldn't be able to use the adjustability cuz it'd throw it out of line.. So i ordered some rod ends from Ballistic Fab..

I'm excited bout these arms haha

that is what her is doing but he is asking about you locate the triangulated bar off of the control arm so the pivot piont is correct and doesnt bind up in the suspension travel.

well i know usually you bend it towards the read and the 4 link tabs move it out far enough they still pivot but hold it straight. I have everything here to do it but I dont need them anymore as I got a yota front end and it has the traingulated lower control arms on it already...

You can still run an adjustable lower arm with a bushing. I run them with a smaller bushing, and you can adjust it pretty far and everything still lines up. Here are the Toyota arms I make with an adjustable bushing on them.

I use a 1.5" OD bushing with a 1/2" bolt that Prothane makes. I aligned the Datsun I built that had a Toyota clip with these arms, and I used the lowers to adjust the caster. That way the upper arm had an even number of shims simply to adjust camber. The thing is, most alignment shops won't adjust your caster via the lower arm, because it requires more work than just stacking shims.
