the only thing you care about are the angles and their relationship to each other. it sounds like you are going in the right direction.

oh, and dont worry so much about max compression. RARELY are you going to be at full bump under speed for long enough for anything to matter. turns usually dont move the center of the pinion as much as you might think since one wheel moves up and the other down.
I only measure for max compression because it is on air bags. Clearance needs to be 'built-in' so nothing touches if it's air'd out. My main concern is no vibration @ ride height so I can drive it everywhere w/o issues. The reference that a d.shaft on an incline slope from the trans to the pinion will be a problem has me worried.
