do squat numbers change, if you change the ride height ?
changing the ride height changes the angle the links are at but does that change anything my guess would be no, but I am unsure.

Yes. The reason is because if you change the height, the angle of the links also change which is where u get squat/anti squat. Lowering ride height means more anti squat and raising height means more squat.

Edit: If you do not want the anti squat to change but raise your ride height, you could just put bigger tires on.

got bigger tires and am now lowering the chassis .
so as long as i move the upper links to keep the same angle they are at now, it should keep the same squat numbers

It will change slightly just because of the weight distribution but you will probably not even notice if you compensate for the ride height.
