Default Sway bar position

I just installed a new set of UPR lower control arms with the factory sway bar. Is it normal for The sway bar to be sitting lower and further back than with the factory control arms?

Seems to me it is, but I no longer run an OEM located rear sway, so not positive. Does it obstruct with anything or just seem out of normal position?

I put the weight of the car on it and that raised it up a couple inches so the height looks right now, but it is sitting a little further back than the stock position. It's not in the way of anything it just looks a little odd, I am guessing because it was hidden inside the old control arms and nows it just hanging out there. I will take some pics when I get a chance.

I believe all aftermarket control arms will move the position of the sway. I know that Steeda and Maximum motorsports note they will relocate the postition of the sway.

I recall now...yes!

Mine did the same thing when I got my Griggs LCA's. I remember thinking it was gonna hit stuff, then I lowered it a little more
