Yep, that's what I do.
And with the control arms, like that article says, don't pay any attention whatsoever to length. It's absolutely irrelevant. You're main focus is that the control arms aren't fighting against each other, and that the pinion angles are correct.
I always install one upper and use that one upper to set the pinion angle length. Once it's adjusted, dialed in, and tightened in place, I then install the upper on the opposite side. I lengthen it to the exact point that it moves about freely without any bind. It's easy to tell when this happens, because you'll be able to very easily lengthen it. The moment that you aren't able to easily lengthen it and it starts to get difficult, that's when you know it's binding up and you need to back-off.
Once upon a time I was dead-set on control arm lengths. It took messing around with it once or twice to realize that they didn't matter at all, and all those stupid charts you see online with control arm lengths for different height of lifts are absolutely pointless.
