The general rule of thumb is all suspension should be tightened at ride height. I leave everything loose, set the vehicle on the ground and start torquing bolts from front of vehicle to the rear.

Thanks, I thought some were done in the air but I’m new to this. I probably misread something.

all rubber bushings will want to be done at ride height, you can do your sway bar links in the air if you wish but control arms and track bars will always want to be done on the ground.
