No you don't lock it, it almost goes past the point of it being able to pull up almost as if the weight of it holds it down then when you push it up the spring helps pull some of the weight. Its greater than a 45°

Yeah the spring is there to help pull it towards the vehicle when you push, i already have mine all welded up just can't figure the spring part out.
