Thanks for all the feedback and info so far guys. I'm looking forward to getting this figured out but it sounds like keeping the angles of the control arms in their stock positions may be the way to go, just shortening the LCA proportionally to the shortened UCA. We'll see when I get it on paper, in my head it sounds great!
Vince and Benjamin, I'll PM you guys in the next couple days. Need to figure out logistics with me being in Switzerland.
Thanks again guys, this has been very helpful so far and I'm always open to learning more so feel free to keep the discussion going. More to come...

I managed to get another demo version of suspension analyzer and I've been playing with a lot of different combinations. I "think" I might have something that is a good compromise; granted I haven't exactly studied this stuff, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express like 5 years ago... I scanned the reports and attached them to this post. Take a look and let me know what you think. If I'm WAY off and this setup sucks, let me know. Thanks guys!

Can we get the long measurement screen too? You can just to a print-screen and post it with or without the picture.
The only thing that jumps out at me is that you're set to Ackerman Error, which is the distance from "ideal" ackerman, not the actual Ackerman angle itself.Robert R.

Yes I can get that added, it will be a few hours though. Can S.A. be changed to show the ackerman angle itself rather than the error? I didn't look for that, didn't cross my mind, but when I animate the suspension I can watch the ackerman angles or use the dynamic feature and set the dive, roll, and steer and the main screen will give me the ackerman angle as an output. I'll get the rest posted in a few hours. Is there anything else you can think I should post? Thanks Robert.

Here is some data for you Robert. Here is the print-out of all the measurements as well as everything in a static position.
And here is a screen shot of the same data but with 1" dive, 1* roll, and 2.5 steer (is that supposed to be degrees, inches, feet???).
Thanks for looking at it.
