Angry offroad axle swap update with questions

So i only bought the front axle out the offroad package ram because the guy sold the rear axle on me Now im gonna pick up a dana 60 for the rear.. Couple questions i have, i didnt mark the bolts when i took the control arms off so am i gonna have a problem with my caster when i put the front back togeather? And im planning on a dana 60 with 410 gears, so i already know about the bigger perches but am i gonna have problems with my driveshaft?

Hit an alignment shop first thing after the front is complete.

The driveshaft may need shortened an inch or an inch and a half. But might not.
