I jacked up the frame and tried wiggling the tires top and bottom but they didn't move.

Reading my Haynes manual though it said that I need to jack up the truck by the frame and then jack up the lower control arm so the upper control arm is off it's stop and then try to wiggle it...I didn't jack up the lower control arm at all...should I do that?
