RideTech wants the kit to cover all options so they provide the bushing stands that bolt in the factory holes. This ensures proper end link angle no matter what the ride height is set at.
Not that it's relivent but your sway bar is an earlier style that's been updated in this kit. The end link tabs have been changed on the new version.
Is anything else changed on this kit for the front? Mine sits quite a bit lower than yours, too low in fact. I thought that it was just preload on the coil but Im aleady adjusted at .5 over 0. Anymore and im affraid it will ride like a tank

EDIT: I think i see the issue, the lower arms look like the coilover mounts higher up on yours, making ride height higher
