Question Adj. Control Arm Question

Right now I'm at about 5" of lift and my fixed arms are too short, the wheel is pulled back towards the cab. I just ordered a set of fully adjustable short arms from iro. I already know what length to set them at. I'm wondering what is the best way to go about installing them because the axle needs to be pulled forward. I've read about doing one side at a time and using ratchet straps to pull the axle.And by One side at a time does that mean do both lower and upper? Or should I do both lowers first? Any help would be great

Id remove trac bar and do both uppers first by placing jack under yoke and jacking it up which should pivot it forward then remove lowers ,rear should swing forward when you let jack down .jm2cw...
