Agreed. I had assumed that the piston was essentially over the wheel pivot, as on the VersaDrop. Looking more carefully at the render, I see that you'll only get about 60% of your cylinder force as lift. You'll have to move the cylinder and cross bar out, or increase your piston diameter by about 30%. (1.3 * 1.3 * 0.6 = 1.01)
