You are not likely to feel the inside rear tire lift from the driver's
seat, especially if you are smoooth. A stiffer rear bar will cause this
to occur (big deal, doesn't mean anything other than you have a lot of
rear roll stiffness). Just an FYI. (BTW, prepped Porsche 911s will often
pick up their inside front wheel).
