good drawing. If it were in Auto-Cad, and you could move the suspension up/down, you would see that there is very little bump-steer in a properly designed system, and it should stay on point through the entire travel range.

Pancake vs. raising the crossmember - The suspension components don't know the difference (if done correctly) Everything moves up the same amount. Lets say you raise or pancake the crossmember 1 1/2", then you must raise the inner tie rod end to match, 1 1/2". There are a couple of ways to do this, as I mentioned earlier, but the steering needs to stay in the same relationship to the suspension.
