Though I will probably move the rear chassis-side point of the upper a-arm rearward. This should allow me to use a damper with more travel (3" in place of 2"), and will also look cooler!Still need to come up with a good way to mount it to the frame...
And where I'll put the R-ARB..

From this picture i cannot see exatcly how much space you have between your trasmission and its mounting shells but you could make an hole on the two sides and put a U-ARB inside this hole...
By the way i really enjoy to read your blog. Yout posts are really interesting!
Iwould like also to ask you something more about your vehicle dynamics simulations. How did you write your software?
What are you interested in knowing, for how I wrote it? The language? Or the guts of it? Or what?
The language isn't that important... can do vehicle sim stuff in Excel, in Matlab, in Fortran, whatever. Guts of it are what matters.
Just simple vehicle "dynamics" (statics would almost be more accurate). Write out the equations for tire forces and load transfer and such and go from there. Really all comes down to your assumptions and how complicated you want to make things. You can start simple with a bicycle model, no roll, no load transfer... and get as crazy as a full 4-corner sim with kinematic and compliance effects.
First step either was is figuring out.. what exactly are you trying to learn and determine? Which questions do you want to answer for vehicle development?
