Does anyone torque the frame bolts with it loaded on the ground like the Bentley manual states to do? I put it to 118lb ft with it in the air. Doesn't look easy to do on the ground.

Isn't the purpose to have the rubber in the bushing in a neutral state with the car on it's wheels? Tightening with the wheels unsupported will continuously load the bushing while stationary and really load bushing in compression over bumps causing premature failure?. While a PITA I usually put on ramps before final torque.
