Default Installing anti-roll bars

Hello, I will be installing a set of Z06 bars on my '99 coupe. I have the metal end links and new bushings. Question; should the bars be installed with the suspension loaded (wheels on the ground or lift rack) or should they be installed unloaded (wheels off the ground). Or dose it matter?
Thanks, Tom

Since the Corvette end links are not adjustable, it won't matter. If the links were adjustable, then you need to set the length, and the suspension would have to at ride height to get the length right.
