Default suspension parts compatibility problem

i have been eyeballing subframe components for a while now, but i'm having problems figuring out what parts will work with others with no interferences. i plan on doing the following soon:

aluminum control arms
ALK
and probably aluminum links as well

i currently have installed a rallyarmor skidplate that pulls its weight on my parents pitiful excuse for a driveway (1/2 mile long mud and gravel, with a few holes big enough to park the car in!!!).

i would like to add some bracing, but there seem to be so many parts that preclude the use of others and i am having trouble sorting through them all.

i'm sure you guys can see where i'm going with this, so keeping in mind what i want to do, please clear up for me what bits are compatible with what i want to do.

thanks for the help,

-jeremy

dude, luisiana is way more than an hour south of anywhere in indiana.


and if anything you'll have trouble with the skidpate and a subframe brace... no one will really be able to tell you unless they've done it themselves.

uhhh........LOUISVILLE is way more north than Louisiana, and is quite close to lots of places in Indiana; that guy posts on one of our local car forums.

i was hoping that i would indeed hear from somebody who had done both, or perhaps a vendor who actually uses the products themselves. doesn't seem that it's an impossible thing to do, just tricky enough that it's hard to choose the proper components merely by looking at small pics on websites. it would be an expensive mistake to order the wrong stuff over and over again....i can't afford that kind of trial and error.
