Default Sway Bar Angle

I searched around and could not find the answer to my question. I am getting ready to install some Rough Country sway bar quick disconnects and was wondering if there is a certain angle that the sway bar should be kept at after the disconnect install. The instructions did not specify an angle and I did loom at the JKS instructions for their quicker disconnects and it said to keep the sway bar around 0 degrees. Should I try to get my sway bar near 0 degrees with the Rough Country disconnects? The sway bar is no where near 0 degrees right now after using the rear links after my AEV lift. If the sway bar should be around 0 degrees, then I will have to modify (shorten and re-thread) the Rough Country ones to get the sway bar that low. I don't mind to modify what I have, I just wanted to make sure thatnis what I would need to do before I spent the time doing it. Thanks in advance.

JKS recommends 0 degress +/- 5 degrees for their quick disco's. Positive is better than negative for the swaybars.

Lol, I didn't read the whole post. You already found the JKS instructions... But yes, a few degrees positive is ok, and much better than negative.
