Interesting. Might take us to the very outer fringes of the rulebook, but
interesting.
I have both Front Suspension Geometry Pro from www.auto-ware.com
<http://www.auto-ware.com> and SuspProg 3D. Susprog3D is far more
sophisticated, but more difficult to build a model from. FSGP is a little
too simple, but works okay and it's cheap. I'm playing around in FSGP and
doing the serious work in SusProg.

Do I remember you saying that you have the new 3D susp. program? I
have been giving it some serious thought myself. Will it do the things
you expected?
I also use Aurora rod ends instead of bushings on the upper "A" arms.
Great for adjusting camber & caster.
Concerning the front trunnion. I have a set of uprights in the shop
now having them checked out. My thought is this. Don't use the
trunnion!! I can turn the threaded bottom down to 3/4" and thread it for
a 3/4 x16 crown nut. Now we can make lower arms with Aurora rod endsin
place of the trunnion. Hoerr Racing, Coleman, Howe, Port City...There are
a lot of shops that can build safe lower "A" arm to any length needed.
That's the trick, having the program to do the geometry.
Your thoughts?
