Installing rad support questions

I have a 1995 F150 and there was some front end damage to the truck. I think everything is straightened out and now ready to install the rad support. Are there some info/tips that you guys might have on aligning the fenders, measurements that sort of thing?
Also how hard is installing the sway bars on a truck that didn't come factory with them? Can I do it at home?
Thanks for any help, Ross

Get yourself a can or PB blaster and spray every bolt a couple days before hand.
Take some digital pics as you are taking it apart so you know how it gois back together.
Get new rad support bushings, sleaves and bolts.And change them while you are in there.
You DO NOT need to remove the fenders to change the rad support.

I had to remove the passenger side fender because it was toast, but left the other sidde on. I'm going to use the drivers side fender and hood to get a good start on fitting everything up.
