I need some help with the theory part here. On most brakes I've work it tends to lift the back side of the leaf spring. So, if only front brake are applied, the back side of the front leaf will tend to lift up. Because it has a pivot on the center hanger if the front goes up the back goes down. This should apply more force to the rear axle. If you ever watch traction bars on a Drag car, when you take off the front goes up and when you brake the bar goes down. (down in the front, up in ther rear.) Just trying to figure this out.
