      Just looking at dimensions isn't going to prove out your design. You need to get P-T's Analyzer program and plug all of the numbers into it. You can get it as a 9 day trial. That's how I designed the suspension for BAD AST with a ton of help from Salt Racer. I finally broke down and bought the program a couple of weeks ago just so I can rerun my numbers and double check everything AGAIN...
      Bumpsteer, Roll, Anti-dive, Caster & Camber gain, even shock placement and inclination angles are all part of the design. You have a start but drawing it 2D is just the tip of the 'burg. I redesigned my entire suspension in 3D 5 times before I was happy with it. I also have the ability to cycle the components through Jounce and Rebound and Full Left/Right steer to check component clearances. Lots of things to think about when you're designing a complete suspension from scratch... Scrub Radius, Ackerman, Roll Center Migration, etc., etc.
      Just keep it fun.
