Arvid,
It is a long time since I had to think so hard, but I think although it is a good idea I don't think it will work how you think it will.
The nut will always see the 400lbs - even if the force in the air cylinder is 400lbs the nut sees 400lbs from the top and 400lbs from the bottom might make things worse.
That's how I am looking at it - does anyone else see it the same?
There again I could be completely wrong and up the river without a paddle
