Success!! I removed all of the bolts and reinstalled them and now everything fits properly.
Some tips from my experience installing the 20mm sway bar:
Install the top bolts of the bushings first, not all the way, then fit in the bottom bolts, then tighten both. Attach the nuts on for the endlinks last as the sway bar will be mounted to the car and since the endlinks have a give to adjust to where the bar is mounted.
If you're like me and only accrue tools as you need them, get a 12mm deep socket as that will give you the clearance for the upper bolt of the bushing. Also, buy a 14mm ratchet for the endlinks as the driver side has very little room there to fit in a socket wrench. Not sure if it's with the 3.6's, or maybe just my car, but there is something else that juts out almost into the driver's side endlink.
Thank you all for your input and advice! And good luck to those that will swap out theirs. Like everyone has said, the difference is night and day.
