LCA install question

I'm about to install my relocation brackets and LCA's in a few days. I wanted to know if I need to put the rear on jackstands or leave it on the ground. Basically, is there any load on the LCA's? It doesn't seem like it to me, it looks like they hold the axle to the car and if I have the car jacked up the axle will want to roll. Any help appreciated.

I did mine with the stands under my SFC's and then used the jack to lift the rear end about 5" from hanging with the pumpkin.

That was just so there was lots of room.

got it in but not tight yet, then lifted and put the stands under the axel and with it loaded tightened everything up.
