The best advice I was ever given regarding the reinstallation of over
head cabinets (probably from Jim Bounds) is to replace the bolts with
threaded studs so when you go to lift the cabinets you can locate the
studs easier than trying to hold up the cabinets while you try to align
holes.

You can literally hang the cabinets on the studs while you tighten down
the nuts.

Yes, Jam nut the studs into the wall. That should help to locate the top
for the ceiling bolts.
