The stock bolts and collars will be fine. Just regrease them. If you have a welder weld the nuts to the subframe while you have it apart.

More than likely I welded my lower a arms nuts onto the sub frame makes it a lot easier for taking them off and putting back on..

Make sure you use loctite on the threads when reassembling the front (even if the bolt uses a lock nut)

Yes sir. I welded the nuts for the front of the lower A arms on the inside of the subframe so the bolt heads are now in the front below the bumper for easier access.
