Okay, RF will be loaded at some rate, controlled only by the RF bump damping, but the car is a platform on four wheels. If you can't "pivot" around the CG by extending the LF while you compress the RF what's going to happen?

You would lift the L side tires, which you already know is bad. You were correct in your first post about finding the optimum spring rate. Which, the more I see and discuss, is mostly likely a progressive rate. Then just use the shocks to control the spring motion. And from what Gary said elsewhere: sounds like max travel is a good thing.
