By the word "lift" in that example do you mean lifting (position-wise) within the wheel well, then yes, I agree. However, a sway bar will not provide "lift" because springs provide lift. Ergo, COG will not affect a sway bar other than perhaps engage it sooner as a TC will cause body roll to occur sooner and it will not lift a vehicle.
