its goin to take more pressure to lift on the bar. think of it as trying to loosen a tight ass bolt with a rachet. think of the socket as the front link mounts and the end of the handle the rear axle. try loosenging with your hand at the socket. and then try again with your hand at the end of the handle. that should tell you the answer of what takes more pressure.

to keep everything under a stock bedfloor, i went with a behind the axle setup with firestone 9000s (sleeve bags). my other truck had over axle setup and this by far rides better. my friends have on the bar setups and i think mine rides better. i think the on the bar setup feels alittle sloppy. plus it looks like a grasshopper fully aired up. my truck aired up looks completely level fully aired up.
