I was thinking earlier after watching YouTube, I probably should take both sides off then apply one finger tight then the other side so I can lift the bar. Before I did one raise then the other so link would prevent me from lifting bar.
Only if you're doing it wrong.
You're supposed to jack up the entire front of the vehicle off the ground so that the sides are even and no torsion is being applied to the bar. I usually put my floor jack in the middle of the beam at the front of the vehicle and get the entire front off the ground then put jack stands on each side of the jack and lower it onto the stands.
I usually work both sides at the same time, going back and forth loosening and tightening both sides. and yes you should be replacing both sides as a set.
