Because the tongue is behind the axle you could have much more than 900 # on the rear axle. The torsion bars redistribute some of that weight to the front axle. If you hook the chains high enough it is possible to lift the rear axle enough to slide a paper under it. This would depend on how heavy the rear was to begin with and how heavy the torsion bars are rated. The first time I saw it done I was amazed.
