I have the x-metal lowering kit on my truck. I cut the rears down myself it was just easier for me since I own a metal fab shop. The front I think I need the bumpsteer kit before I can cut them down or do I:dontknow: Can I get my front end aligned before I install the bumpsteer kit and cut the swaybar links or would it be better to wait:dontknow:

the swy bar link you can cut anytime
you can get it aligned before the bumpsteer kit but will have to have the toe set after you install it
don't forget to elongate the upper a arm mounts before you take it to align it
 
there are enolnged holes thatthe bolts sit in. you need to make them a lil longer

with nost of the lowering kits I have seen you don't have enough travel to give sufficient camber or laying out of the tire
so most alignment shops can do this or if ya have a die grinder you can
but remove the bolts from the upper control arm, use a die grinder and elongate the slots abou a half inch more then reinstall the a arm and align
that will give you enough distance to align properly
