Re: front suspention
Both the pitman and idler arm come into the center link from the top. The tie rods enter from the rear. All of these holes are tapered and you can only orient it one way.

Re: front suspention
Yes you can put it together backwards but not if the tie rods are coming in from the back of the drag link when in front of the truck. The bend is toward the front of the truck. When it is right there will be about 1/4-3/8 clearance between the front crossmember and the drag link.
