Default Left front lifts before right front-sway bar question

My car lifts the left front 1st, should I adjust the right rear sway bar link longer?

Depends on your sway bar. Stock (add a bag in the right rear); drag sway bar (adjust either side).

I should have been more detailed in the 1st post, it is a drag sway bar & from both answaers I see I'm on the correct track. Thanks

Not sure if you have the bar preloaded at all or not now... but if it's set neutral, make the right side link about a 1/4 turn longer to start. You want to run as little preload as possible. My car rolled over a slight amount with the spohn stock style bar I used to run, went to a wolfe drag bar and it leaves 100% level and strait as an arrow now.

I had to adjust my spohn bar from the pass side. Had to make it longer. Don't use an airbag w/ the spohn, you don't need it.

I agree, once you go to a good drag style bar, no need for airbags. My adjustment for the right side is for a Wolfe, not sure if it matters with a spohn or not.
