It is preferred that they be installed like you mention with the suspension loaded, however I have known others to have them installed with the chassis loaded, and it made no difference on the 4th Gen.
The 4th gen chassis's are far more rigid without SFC's than the 3rd Gen's with the best designed SFC's.
