No Ron. You are reading more into what I said than what I intended. All I was trying to say is that the force on the ends of the spring bars remain the same. If they remain the same, does the receiver bending upward reduce the weight transferred to the front axle or not?
I am not trying to split hairs here, just trying to get it clear in my head what you are trying to say. What you posted just does not compute in my mind.
It sure seems to me that, if you want to transfer x amount of weight, and you draw up the bars using x amount of links, and the receiver bends upwards x amount, you are going to have to raise the bars even farther with x+ links to get x amount of weight transfer as opposed to a receiver that does not bend upwards when WD is applied.
Is my thinking correct? I agree with your statement in blue text which seems to me to be in agreement with my thinking.
