Front End setup help

I bought this K frame assembled with the lower control arms and strut rods already in place and assembled. So I am relatively certain that these components are matched. My reason for disassembling them was to replace the worn components such as the strut rod bushings, control arm bushings, ball joints, etc. Also wanted to get everything blasted and powder coated. I got everything blasted and powder coated, but getting everything back together is turning into a battle and was just trying to get some direction as to whether or not I was heading down the right road or not.

I've read several different threads about lower control arm bushings etc, etc, but never really got the answer I had been looking for after about 1/2 hour of reading, so I figured I'd ask directly in a new thread. The bushing that came out of the lower control arm stud looks identical to what I'm putting in instead of it being a different color. I was mainly looking to see if there was an order of operations to putting them together that would aleviate my problems.

I've read that the poly bushings on the lower control arm have worked themselves out, and I've read of people who have had no problems. I ordered a poly kit, in the kit came the lower control arm bushings so I would like to just use them instead of having to deal with getting rubber bushings, pressing the old sleeves out, etc. I'm rambling. I'm rambling because I'm tired. Whatever.

Can anyone tell me if I should use the same dimension that I took for the threads on the strut rod now that I'm using new poly bushings there instead of the worn rubber ones? What I did is measure from the front end of the strut rod to the front edge of the nut. 21/32 is what I believe it was. Should this be the same dimension with the new bushings and all?

Thanks
