Expert Reply:
It is not. Unless you are getting around a parking lot or something similar you would need to have your Companion slider part # BWRVK3400 slid forward. When slid back there's too much weight behind the rear axle which unweights the front axle and would negatively affect braking performance and handling to extend it would be somewhat dangerous.
