Ah, I think I need my TJ high school kid to help me with the math......

Formula for sway bar stiffness of a solid steel bar

K (lbs/in) = --------------------------------------------------
(0.4244 x A^2 x B) + (0.2264 x C^3)
B
---------------------
A | / \ C
| / \
A - Length of end perpendicular to B (torque arm - inches)
B - Length of center section (inches)
C - Length of end (inches)
D - Diameter bar (inches)
Don't overlook things like endlink bushing compliance and motion ratio once you've got a bar-only stiffness but then you kind-a-sort-of sort or hinted at that..
A little heavy on one side? Might shift some weight around with sway bar adjustment. Lots,and lots of info on this on interwebs... some might even be true!
