Installing stage 2 mounts

i'm puttin in stage 2 ottp mounts soon using my friend's garage (and his lift), were not using jack stands.

anyhow can i loosen passenger side engine mount bolts first, THEN lift car and put jacks underneath oil pan and trans? (rather than vica versa, as suggested)

is it ok to do a final tightening of front and rear mount bolts, THEN lower car and tighten motor mount bolts? (again, instead of vica versa as suggested)

and lastly, can i just lower car and pull forward and backward a couple of inches (to settle everything) then lift and trq to spec? or can u just rock tranny/motor before final torqing?? thank you

I think that will work ok, I had some issues getting the trans case bolts back in for the rear mount so I had to use a prybar to move the engine around a bit. Drove it a day, loosened up the bolts and retorqued them all. Really didn't notice any difference before vs. after the retorque.

Here's the info you seek on the torques
