Default Frt. Sway Install Question

Hi All, Finally received a Hellwig frt sway bar for my 14 Silverado 4x4.
I installed it yesterday but it just doesn't seem right to me.
Is it possible to install it wrong side up? If it can be Iam just the
knuckle head to do it. I drove it after the install and it didn't seem
any better than the oem feel.
I recall a part tag on the original bar before I removed it. But of course
I didn't mark it! I can't recall if that tag was on the right or left.
Your help is appreciated. Thanks

Post up some pictures
Not sure it's going to be that noticeable, to be honest.

I was told swapping front isn't going to do much. I did a helwig rear 87 adjustable and it made a huge difference.

Thanks smokinlmm that is what I should have done. After the first ride with the
new front bar I said to myself that I should have done the rear first
