Preface
This question is for mechanics or enthusiasts or mechanically inclined.
Example. You drive your car to a flat area. set the car to be lifted for a tire change or rotation. In the 1st example there are no ramps for the front tires and your lifting from the rear of the vehicle. The lift jack has to lift much higher to put low jack stands under it.
Example 2 is the same as example 1, except in this scenario you drive the car on to ramps for the front tires and lift from the back. The suspension doesn't seem to move as much.
I know it may seem obvious but why is that? I understand the car is higher off the ground but the car doesn't sag when lifting off the ramps.
Does the suspension lock into place at a base line where ever the wheels are touching ground when lifting?
With ramps little to no sag...
without ramps the car sags more. This is the crux I was wondering.
