Is it easier to install a rear swaybar with weight on the wheels, or car suspended? already STFA.

I will be using a lift (Thanks JasonS4), but should I suspend the car via jack stands on the lift, or just leave it on the wheels?

TIA

Default if you're going to be crawling under the car... jack stands, take off wheels and slide them

under the side.. safety first! have fun. =)

Default I find swaybars easier to do on the ground with jack stands...

Take the wheels off. Then need the floor jack to manipulate the hubs / swaybar connection points up and down as needs be...
