Strut rod bushings?

Soooooo No feed back on leaving the bushings in the picture in so I'm going to swap them out this weekend. Also I really don't want the lower control arms sitting on the bumpers so I'll crank up the front end an inch or so. My alignment will be hooped for sure but I will get that sorted out before going for my safety inspection. When cranking up the front end should I bottom the bolts out and turn them equal turns until I'm happy with the hight?

Again, thanks for any suggestions

The height is measured at the inner and outer part of the LCA. A factory service manual can explain it. To reiterate what another member said, some of the Polygrahite strut bushings are so thick that when the nut is installed it won`t screw on far enough to get the roll pin in.
