Sway Bar yes or no

Ok sway bar swammies! Got the Hotchkis mocked up. Thing looks beefy.
Im shortening the end links to bring the " tails" level with ground correct?. Head on view shows links pretty far from plumb. raising ride height should improve this. So here's my questions:

1. " tails " or the sway bar ends, should be parallel to ground regardless of rake in stance?

2. Adding torsion bar spring should close the end to end distance issue some,I doubt all. What negative performance issues may I encounter?
2a. Should torsion bar be disconnected for long term wheels off storage?

3. How critical is deciding on final ride height now ( I'm in fit up, from here car gets torn apart again for paint) adjusting end link length in the future is not a problem
