you should be okay with just a new front. it will allow you to recenter your axle exactly. the rear's not as big of a deal and the relocation bracket should do the job well enough.

The cam bolts are for the trash, the new adjustable lower control arms do the same job as the cam bolts are designed to do, but youll be happier with the arms. The cam Bolts are to help adjust the front axle some on the alignment rack with the lift, but with the new arms you dont need and dont want to use them.

LOL!! no problems. cam bolts will allow you to set your caster too but, in order to do that, you will need to make slots in your control arm axle mounts. while this does work and would be fine if you were to just drive your jeep on pavement, off roading puts a lot of stress on these bolts and causes them to come loose. once loose, they they slide around, change your alignment and be a real problem. adjustable lower control arms are more expensive but they are the better solution.
