Relax the people here are trying to help.

The lift they are describing is probably neglagible at best, but it does exist. One of the main reasons you are likely more stable is you have reduced the ammount of turbulance underneath. Highway stability is one of the reasons I am wanting to modify mine, expecially with cross winds. You might even notice a reduction in dust behind you on a dirt road.

The downward front skidplate wouldn't make the back lighter it would make the front lighter, but thats countered by the 650lb @300kg chunk of cast iron under the hood.
