For the less computerically inclined, they usually use the paper and string models as described by Allan Staniforth and Carroll Smith. I play with these myself and when I started to think about anti dive/squat with double wishbone suspensions I didn't know whether us use the chassis mounts of the front pivot, rear pivot, or an average of the two since they're at different heights. Can someone help me with this? Or would I have to get a computer suspension analyzing software?

I'd use the intersection of the hingeline at the axle centreline. I've checked it for my particular geometry, it seems to be close enough.
