Lowered springs, different heights

I have ARK springs and they are fine. I would jack it up remove the sway bar end links at the control arm and drop it back down and check ride height. Then loosen and retorque the control arms at the subframe with the wheels on the ground.

Forgive my suspension ignorance, what would be the purpose of this? Thanks
 
Sway bars and control arms are supposed to be torqued to spec pre-loaded meaning the car should be sitting as it would on the ground With the suspension compressed to its resting point (ie not fully extended.)

If I do this would it mess up my alignment?? Just got it aligned twice In the last 2 months. Getting spendy!

To do this right, you'd have to rolling the car a good distance to settle the entire chassis, before checking ride height. Just dropping the car off floor jack, rubber bushings will get loaded in odd ways, as will the tire against the ground, resulting in unnatural ride height.

Sway bar, no. Control arm, perhaps.
