It's a torque measurement ... where your bar mounts to the frame is your pivot point or fulcrum. The amount of force it takes to have the same about of torque lessens the further out from the fulcrum you move.
T=F*D (Torque=Force X Distance from Fulcrum)
100 t = 100ft/lbs x 1 ft. or
100 t = 50ft/lbs x 2 ft.
A bit of an extreme example since a sway bar is ~ 1" difference from the two most extreme settings, but it show the further you move from the fulcrum the less force it takes to achieve the same torque.
