Default Front Upper Control Arms Installation

I'm trying to install Hardrace front UCAs with sliding ball joint. Repair Manual mentions aligning the marks on the bolts/bushings and UCAs, then torquing the bolts prior to installation of the UCAs on the car, but Hardrace UCAs don't have the marks for aligning them, even if they did, these marks will not be true anymore since I'm lowering the car. My questions is: Why not install the UCA loosely, just tighten the ball joint, then raise the car by the lower control arms until it's off the jack stands and torque those bolts?
Thank you.
