Now I have to order the links from the dealer $23.00 each and install the new ones. I am happy with the kit NCD provided and the instructions were awesome. I would tell EVERYONE installing this kit or any others (esp. guys that have never done it before) to look out and make sure your sway bar is disconnected or to make sure it is in the up position. I have been told by PrgGreg (who has been extremely helpful) that it is relatively easy to replace the sway bar end link. Do you guys think my not having my alignment done will "chew" up my tires if I drive it for about a week or put too much stress on my suspension? I can kind of see the tires leaning a bit...
I actually have this posted on another thread but did not want to take up someone else's thread. I am a complete iddiot when to comes to suspension so I hope I can be of help to others like me who are contemplating this project! If you fellas have any questions or advice just let me know.

You shouldn't wait that long to do the alignment if at all possible. Depending on how much you drive, I'd say yeah. It could really chew them up. I forget how far out mine were after mine was lifted, but it was significant. As for the end links, they're not hard to swap out. They are torqued down like a motha though!
