Mast stepping.

Should I attach the forestay (non roller furling jib) or either of the shrouds to the chainplates before stepping the mast? It seems like if the forestay, and one shroud were attached it would make everything a bit more stable once the mast is up, that way the other person could use the non-attached shroud to help support the mast as it goes up. Same question for unstepping the mast.
