It would make it easier to turn the bolts by jacking it up. Takes the load off and less chance of stripping one.

Also remember to count how many times you turned the bolt one one side, that way when you go to do the other side you know how many times to turn it to keep everything level.

How does that affect the front end alignment and camber?

It changes the camber and you need to have it realigned.

Ahh, thought so. Just checking as my brain cell has been on the blink lately. Precurser to senility I guess!!
