Chester,
ANYTIME a 4-link adjustment is made the ant-roll should be unhooked. At least on the passenger side. If I have an issue with the car leaving or going down the track straight I'll do the following:

I have a set of stands that I set the car up on just like it is sitting on the starting line going to make a hit. Here is my ritual I go thru:

I check the "ride height" on the rear with the Anti-Roll hooked up.
Then I'll check the "ride height" on the rear with the anti-roll unhooked. (To see if it was in a bind)
I put the scales under all four tires, full of fuel (No Driver). Right Down settings for RF, LF, RR, LR
With scales under all four tires, full of fuel with Driver. Right down settings for RF, LF, RR, LR
Then with scales still under all four tires full of fuel, Driver, Front & Rear air pressure set and shock settings set. I loosen the jam nuts on the "top" four link bars only. Both bars should turn back and forth free. Then put a little pre-load in the passenger side by "shorting the bar."
When all done I hook the anti-roll back up. The bolts should slide freely thru the turn buckle ends.

Now I have a reference/starting point if something doesn't seem right to fall back on. Like when the springs start to get weak and the ride height changes.

Good Luck.......
