Flieger is correct. Each corner of your car weighs the same regardless of how much you adjust height. Crank the adjustment bolt on the front right corner up or down and that corner still "weighs" the same. It's about the relational spring tension between the four corners. Reducing spring tension on one corner affects the spring tension on the other corners, especially the opposite corner. This creates the table with short legs effect. The spring tensions are balanced when correct. Reducing spring tension on one or more corners gives the effect of increasing tension on the others. When this happens you have less downward pressure on a specific tire in relation to the others. Since that tire has less downward pressure because of decreased spring tension you have a tire that will lock up sooner than the others.
