I think moving it towards the bar makes it stiffer, but man they are a PITA to adjust. Is it easier to do it with the wheels off the ground or with the car on the ground?

Sway bars should be done with the suspension loaded. Put it up on ramps.

The holes that make the bar "shorter" make it stiffer. So the holes at the end of the bar would make it softer.

and closer to the bar is stiffer, away softer,. when its on the ground or any way you have the suspension loaded, itll be like butter

its easier on the ground, but of course you dont get alot clearance from the ground. so ramp would be much better. i did my with out ramps and it was hard.
