for you guys running custom suspensions do you know what your geometery is? I am getting ready to lay mine out but I have no idea what range I should be shooting for on everything (roll centers and such) caster and camber will have plenty of adjustability in it so I am not too concerned about that one.

Do you have any software?????? I'm sure Dennis or someone will chime in here and let us know what is good and what isn't! I would like to find a decent software program to play with!

Herb Adams "Chassis Engineering" book should help you get in the ballpark.

Having the software is one thing. Knowing how too interpret the info is another. If you already know how to read the info, then you should not have any problems. Otherwise I would contact someone who lives and breathes suspension analysis to help you out. That is what I did and was one of the smarter things I have done.
