Rear Sway Bar Install Q
Is the correct way to install it with load on the suspension?? I heard its not a good idea to jack it up (ie. wheels off the ground.) and then install. Any comments?

doesnt matter if the wheels are off the ground. it would be ideal and easiest to install them with either both wheels off the ground, or resting. as long as theyre the same and one side isnt loaded.

Just remember that you torque the bolts the right amount when installing too. There are some websites you can look up the recommended amounts to torque the bolts.

when jacking it up on a jacking point, place a jackstand on the lower control arm. This applies a load that is necessary for bushing install. Otherwise your gonna rip them straight out when you torque them down with no load on them.

Not on a swaybar bushing. They're designed to slide in the bushing. What you are saying may be true on a control arm bushing because the center is bonded to the rubber. Even then though you probably wont tear them, you would just have a slight preload on the bushing.
