Sub-frame connectors... Please build them correctly!

I was speaking with a near neighbor down my street - he has a bit of a shop built in his backyard for his part-time after work job. He welded up my K-member for me and I then asked him about installing some welding in SFC. Mentioning that I would want the weight off the car on all four wheels he said what he would do is get under the initially and tack them in place, then put it on a lift (not the drive on type) and then finish the welds in a more convenient position.

Is this a reasonable approach?

Sure, if nothing moves much when it's lifted and/or his lift arms are level with each other and placed in spots on the car that are also.
When we did mine all we did was put it on jack stands and use a laser level to check the body for flat and welded the connectors in.
It's pretty difficult to try to get a person that volunteered to help to do it the way you want it done though. :D
