:So, if we bring it back to levers, and you have two equidistant and equal weights, but one hangs down a few inches, do they ballance then too? I thought not, but I could be wrong...

Yes, they would balance.

Think about what you just described... It would be an old fashioned set of balance scales like lady justice holds... right? Or maybe, since they hang down at diferent distances maybe a better example would be a child's mobile hanging above a crib... the dangling objects are at different heights but they still balance each other.
