Stabilizer Leg Linear Actuator Force to Jack up a Truck's rear tyres

[QUOTE="jbriggs444, post: 6334503, member: 422467"] As I recall the original problem had you put down the stabilizer legs until they were just touching the ground. Then you raised the load and asked about the resulting support force from the legs. There was no requirement that the rear wheels be lifted from the ground. That was a difficult situation because lifting the load would raise the chassis somewhat off both front and rear springs. One needed to think about spring constants in order to determine the resulting equilibrium load distribution. In this case, my understanding is that you have [perhaps foolishly] raised the load first and then put down the stabilizer legs sufficiently to force the rear wheels clear of the ground. This is a much easier problem. There is no need to worry about spring constants. The rear wheels are irrelevant this time. The only support is at the stabilizers and at the front wheels. No extra unknowns to solve for. Easy peazy. But the two situations are different. Two different problems with two different solutions. [/QUOTE]
