The increased leverage comes from having to extend the arms all the way for every standard vehicle and THEN having to place them closer to the mid point on the side of the car just to find a place to lift.
If there were not any chance of increased leverage, then why did Challenger recommend larger anchors? BTW, my Ammco lift, made by Challenger (not a bottom plate design) lift calls for 3/4 inch anchors anyway.
Again, just my opinion. I know an extra 5 inches of reach doesn't sound like much, but given the weight of the vehicles that will fit on it, it is enough to worry me.
