Sounds complicated. I agree with applying downforce directly to the unsprung weight.

I just think it should be a mass free to slide fore-and-aft. Stupid simple. In fact I was thinking about pointing to the Deltawing config as a trimaran.

60s gassers used to ride nose high to get weight transfer off the line. You could have a Delta wing configuration where the front nacelle shortens to put weight on the drive wheels and then lengthens for longitudinal stability as the acceleration slackens.
