Nailed it perfectly! Suspension geometry is an elusive beast for most people and even being an alignment tech some things have stopped crossing my mind since I never work on custom suspensions. Your content is pure gold sir.
When I get around to it, I am doing a power rack on a d150. I will be using a Mustang 2 rack. It has 6in. of travel and 24.25in between the pivot points. That's as close as I could to the stock drag link. Thank you for watching
In general... a rack and pinion vehicle will have shorter spindle arms than a gearbox spindle arm. I did a narrowed Pinto rack on an S10 but kept the S10 spindles and lost turning radius because the spindle arms were too long.
The only reason I didn't go into using shorter spindle arms is that it's not really an option with stock d150 spindle. Changing to deferent spindle openings hole new can of worms. Thank you for watching and commenting

Thank you. I'm just trying to help other people work through some of the VooDoo that is front suspension
And if I remember correctly a Corvette C4 power rack is 26 inches from Pivot Point to Pivot Point and 5 1/2 travel.

I just subscribed Yu got my attention I am all in
Welcome aboard, hope you enjoy , thank you
Curious to see how the input on steering gear will clear frame and exhaust. Awaiting results
Me to lol , no I think I have a idea how to make it work. Thank you for watching.
I want to see how much total weight you lose when you install the rack. I'd love to do this on a 4wd dodge.
I'm hoping that when it's all done the truck is around 3100 lbs
