I tried to play with those numbers and it doesn't seem to match what you have. I'm getting a RC height of -1" and parallel arms.

Is +X forward, +Y up, and +Z left?

That's the way I read it. Which means the roll center is underground, the caster is negative, the trail is negative, the KPI is large, and ackerman is largely negative...And that's not even beginning to look at the dynamic situations. No offense Mo, but those numbers seem to be rather arbitrarily chosen.

Here is the sketch. I need to re look at the wishbone post to get my coordinates correct.
