I'm in the process of putting together my suspension geometry and before i begin fabricating the spindles, frame, a-arms ect i want someone to double check to make sure i'm not all washed up on my suspension geometry:

It falls like this:
Swing arm lenght: 100"
Instant center is 8.846" above ground
Roll center is 2.615"
upper a-arm from ball joint pivot to center of the bushing is rougly 8" (that my change, but in the same area)
Lower a-arm from center to center is 15.25"

I'm going by herb adams book to place things in a general area, but an expert opinion would be alot of help.
Thanks.

I think you are in the right neighborhood with those specs. Probably just slightly less agressive than the Guldstrand mod, or very close.
