On my 6" lifted fx2 I got hellwig rear sway bars installed by a local shop and I am not sure if this is right. The connecting pieces seem really low. They are only 7" of the ground. Is this right from looking at these pics?

Are you sure that the endlinks are the correct length for your application? The swaybar is DEFINITELY upside down and needs to be flipped, but unless the endlinks can be adjusted to be much, much shorter it seems the endlinks aren't correct.

Looking at your pics again, those end links can't be shortened up much more than they already are. Can you post pics of where the endlinks are attached at the top? They should be attached to the little stub where the rear shocks attach (on the side of the frame rails)

This is how they're attached. Should they be attached higher?

Do you have to drill the whole in the frame to connect this or is it already there?
