I do not get what you are trying to get at with the images. And it might be a matter of semantic, I am contended that irrespective of COG, a sway bar will not lift an axle be it front or rear.

When you have most of the weigh on rear axle - stiff front sway bar will lift front wheel off the road.
The first image of the Jeep shown either no sway bar (or disconnected) and the wheel is dropping (no force acting on it other than gravity.)
The second image (assuming it has a sway bar) shows the extent of the right tire fully up in the wheel well and maximizing the lift in the opposite direction on the opposite tire. The perceived drop is the articulation of the suspension (i.e. the is tilting down relative to the body ... the tire camber tells us this. But there is no lift (downward force) that would "lift" a vehicle by action of a sway bar.
d3500ram,
I read an article years ago comparing the BMW 320, which lifted the inner-rear wheel, causing over steer, to a Porsche model that lifted one of the front wheels, causing under steer. The gist of the article was that you could correct both conditions by reducing the torsion on the appropriate sway bar. In other words, it's the relationship between front and rear bars that controls the behavior, not the absolute torsion of either one. I think this is what Kayteg1 is seeing or referring to.
