Think about it. If say the front axle of the car hits a 2-inch bump, it will move in the vertical plane by two inches. Everything behind the front axle will also move upwards, but the closer to the rear wheels you get, the less vertical movement there will be, until you get to the rear wheels which are not moving upwards at all when the front wheels hit a bump. (they're the fulcrum in the lever, if you want to think of it that way.)
The longer you stretch out that distance between the wheels, the less vertical movement will be be experienced by anything between those wheels since the driver/passenger/etc will be getting further and further away from whatever axle is experiencing vertical movement.
The longer you stretch out the arm here, the less that load is going to move when you raise that arm a set amount.
I hope that makes sense.
