You would need to tighten it with the vehicle in normal position and torqued to 127 Nm. Tightening when the vehicle is not on the ground must be avoided. First connect it when the vehicle is off the ground. It's gonna be tough. Then lower the vehicle and torque it to spec. I did a complete suspension overhaul right in my garage on my back.

I'd recommend inspecting all the work they did, especially the top of the shocks where they connect to the vehicles body.
Excellent idea!
