Couple of Questions [Finishing up final touches]

Hey guys, finally finishing my front end project/suspension overhaul on my '01. Got most everything back together, just gotta put my front sway bar on and throw a few cotter pins on and I should be good.

My question is, what all do I need to torque with weight on the vehicle? I know the upper control arm through bolt/nut and the lower control arm bolts, but how about the lower ball joint, upper ball joint, outer TREs? Anything else?

I put on JBA UCAs, inner/outer TREs, lower ball joints, LCA bushings, Steering rack bushings, sway bar bushings, CV axles, and a toytec aluma lift setup with a diff drop kit.

Kind of just trying to go over my head everything I need to double check and torque with weight on it.

Also, can I loosen the camber bolts with the vehicle on the ground to adjust or do I need to jack it up to do so? Thinking if I loosen it up on the ground itll all just slam down into one position. Trying to just do an eyeball alignment on it so I can get it to the shop to get it aligned.

Thanks

Just the upper/lower control arm through bolts. Everything else can be torqued unloaded. If you replaced the sway bar bushings that hold the sway bar to the frame then it would be a good idea to tighten those with the vehicle under it's own weight on tires at ride height.

Thank you! That's all I was looking for.
