It will TRY to lift it sooner but there is more to overcome because as soon as the tether is tight, all of the LF suspension just became sprung mass. So it will come back down much faster sometimes making it appear as though it never completely unloaded. Watch slow motion video from the infield (of about any touring car) and pay close attention to how the LF moves. You'd be surprised.
    I guess I can see that, as soon as it stops traveling the RF is forced to compress from taking up the load. I guess then the RF is more likely to stay down too. Seems like it would be very sensitive to tune with the LF just touching the track like that.
