the force, tires, are linear with the rest of the vehicle, as opposed to a typical truck being on top of them.
You, my fine sir, get an A for today.

Spot on!! If you want a quick demonstration of what I am talking about, take a 2' carpenters square and lay it on the table. Set a movable mass at the 2' end and work your finger up the 1' end until you move the mass.

Simple enough. I don't know the specifics, however, crank centerline has way more to do with chassis science than I ever thought.
