lets see pics of mechanical canti's

just what it says lets see them!!!

yummy

that would be a true canti. he wants mechanical, bag on bars i guess....

if the bags are on one of the four link bars its not a cantilever

no thats what i was looking for mechanical looking cantilevers not leverage set ups

so how does that work? the bag pushes up, which in turn pushes down on the bar, and lifts the frame at the middle pivot? What makes you get more lift? long vertical bar mounting to the 4 link? high center pivot?

Here ya go

okay, so ur bag is sideways, hitting that triangle piece pushes it across the inside pivot and down on the outside (like rolling a triangle on the ground) therefore pressing on your lower control arm, raising the truck?

yeah that is basically it. when the pivot point is moved closer to the bag the outside of the arm will travel farther and will increase lift. It is also attached to the middle of the link bar which increases lift and makes for a softer ride.
