Most people do the stiffeners at the same time as they do a LA kit.

You'll need to cut off your old lower control arm mounts in order to weld the set from RuffStuff up.

Per Ruff Stuff's posts you can easily modify their kit to work with the OEM control arm mounts.

The best way to finish stiffening would be a full out cage. Idk about ladder bars, my dad's 68 Camaro convirtable has ladder bars.
