For any that have done this were you able to get the front alignment in spec without the lower control arms?

I am contemplating this as a simple adjustment to compensate for my new 315’s and eventually a winch. Want to touch as little of the suspension as possible on my mojave but would like to minimize the rake too.
I've been running this exact set up since day 7 of owning my JTR. I had the dealer perform the alignment after it was installed in and it was in spec not questions asked. It actually drove better (less wandering) after the install and alignment. I'm guessing a lot of the complaints about 'wandering' from new owners could be fixed by getting an alignment. I don't think the factory alignment is very good.

The only thing that is adjustable is the toe in and out, you cannot adjust caster or camber.

I'm running this same question, and have a question: If I take the front bump stop extensions off, will that cause issues? I'm running 315/70/17s and I wasn't rubbing before, so I have to think I shouldn't be rubbing afterwards. Is there something I'm missing?
