or if we knew distance of LCA pivot to wheel centerline?, and distance from LCA pivot point to coilover attachment point on LCA, and we knew or guessed coilover inclination, we would have a number/factor to compare my 550lb coils with a typical TB set-up, for a relative starting point?




Exactly. Its high school level geometry at that point. Once we know what the applied wheel rates are, we can compare apples to apples.

For simplicity, a lot of wheel ratings are calculated at the ball joint rather than the wheel centerline. Obviously wheel offset impacts that actual applied rate the tire sees and the more accurate you calculate this distance, the more accurate your results. I just wouldn't want other potential AlterK users to follow along and end up with different results because they chose a different wheel than you have and then wonder why things aren't the same.
