     The longer wheelbase puts MORE weight on the rear with no other changes.
Think of it as a lever and the fulcrum is the centerline of the front axle 
.......
the further away from that pivot point the mass of weight is , the less weight
is on it, so it HAS to go onto the REAR wheels .  The shorter the wheelbase,
the more the weight goes back onto the front end .
  ...... those laws of physics ALWAYS have  THEIR WAY .  WE  HAVE
to go along with THEIR rules ...... there is  NO  ALTERNATIVE  for us .
