CM Rear suspension rebuild

Thanks for replying to my previous post. Is there a specific way ther rear suspension should be tightened? I'm referring to the contol arms and sway bar. Right now the control arms are in and sway bar is attached but the hub hi hanging down. Should the hub be in the normar ride height position before I tighten the control arms?

oh yes, NEVER EVER tighten control arms unless the entire vehicle weight is on the tires.

Allthebest, c4c5
