Default replacing ball joint question

Hello, I have the front end torn apart of my 93' 5.8 4x4 and I am now putting it back together. I have each axle out of the front end and I just put in the front upper and lower ball joints and have the nuts tightened down to spec. I can't turn the knucle that they sit now that they are tight. Is this because they are new or because I still have the truck on stands? I have some work to do still so I can't put the truck down yet. Will the turning become better once the weight of the truck puts pressure on the ball joints to seat properly. I just didn't want to get too far and have to back track. Thanks guys.
