Make sure that while you are doing that, that you are sealing off the sill boxes, otherwise even the smallest cold draft above the insulation will be keeping the basement warmer and the floor above colder and fiber glass does next to nothing to stop drafts other then filtering the dirt out of the cold incoming air.
