What setups boil down too

How loose you can make the car without it spinning. Plain and simple it's that easy. Just lower wedge to to 47%, and raise both the track bars 3-5 inches. Left for corner entry, and right for corner exit. Presto you now have a setup. Everything else pretty much doesn't matter.

I also use 47% on the wedge a lot. If you want to turn left with the track bars, you need to open them by raising the right side bar. (I hardly ever change the track bars anymore)

The Front Sway Bar will help turn also, I always click it down one notch to a lower number.

I also always raise the rear end up a number like 4.00 to 4.11.

Interesting note on the sway bars. This game has them all wrong. I played racing sims since I was 12, turn 30 in Dec, and the prevailing wisdom has always been a bigger bar is always better. Reduces the roll which helps increase front grip. I almost always run the biggest front sway bar I can in iRacing. Late model to Cup car doesn't matter I will run the biggest bar.

The bigger bar in the front makes it stiffer and causes the car to push more. A softer (smaller) bar gives the front end a little more grip. That's why they don't run a bar at the rear. They want it as soft as they can get it for the grip. If you add a bar to the rear it adds oversteer until the bar's stiffness causes you to spin out (loose).

Or that's always been the thinking I've used for also setting up cars on the intraweb and SP. Of course all you have to do is try it.

Say if at Atlanta in turn 1 in a 4 Star rated Truck where you're going around wide open. And the Truck pushes out just a little in the middle of the turn. You can drop the Sway Bar down by 1 size and it should tuck you right into the corner.

Now when you get into road cars or F1, Indy Cars. They'll usually run sway bars at both ends and use them to stiff'n the car like you say. Then they'll adjust them up and down to balance the car the way the driver prefers. A little loose or a little tight or ....................................
