STABILIZERLEG

To manage the massive strain on the spring system, I opted to distribute forces instead of concentrating them at one point, which could potentially cause instability. By linking a reaction arm from the 'stinger' to the lever arms, we can share the load and enhance the moment applied to the spring assembly. In the provided example, the spring would experience approximately 660 pounds of force. Additionally, the sprung handle on the exterior allows for easy folding and locking in two distinct positions.
