Default sway bar install -
mmm one of the member b5dave iirc

said when installing both front and back sway bars i should get the cars on a stand and then jack up the control arms to ride height to install

most sway bar install i have seen is just jack it up and install


which way - and does it matter

Default It is much easier to install with the suspension loaded. --> I've found car on ramps to be best.
Extra block of wood on the ramps if want a few more inches of clearance.

Default as long as both side are jacked up equally, you'll be fine. You really only need
one end up at a time, too.
