Put the car on ramps so the car is elevated, but still putting load on the sway bar.

I used a second jack to put a load on the suspension. Ramps are a good idea though.

If the car is very low, and standard ramps won't work, get the Takata LDS ramps and set them on top of a 2x12 and you should be able to get under the car

i had no problem getting under the back of my car to tighten the endlinks after i had brought it down. in fact, you can even reach in from just in front of the rear tires and do it.

not sure about the front though.

sway bar

Car should be on the ground when tightening sway bar bolts to minimize pre-load. Use ramps or blocks (planks) of wood.
