Does anybody know what sort of strength the torsion leveling bars have? I know they are strong but I also noticed I can achieve a lower ride in the rear by adding weight, such as a piece of railroad, with the compensator disabled i would then be able to achieve an overall lower ride height and still have some front to back movement via the momentary switch. And just for the record and not to be rude.... I have pushed this system to its limits...IE it is only on a switch...front or back "tilt". I was able to set the rear bumper on the ground, however the front bumper was 14" inches off the ground. Hence the journey to lower the car. In my opinion to snap the drive gear from the motor you would have to be an idiot... the poor old packard will cry when you go a little too far in either direction. It makes some awful noises and anybody would know at that point to quickly go the other way. Also I will admit I very very slightly bent the arms coming off the motor while testing its capabilities, a 5 pound hammer corrected that. Does anybody agree that the cars will drop quite a bit naturally with some weight in the trunk?
