Kick up is the difference in height of the wishbone front and rear pivot mounts.
It is measured as an either an angle or a mm measurement.

often refered to as anti squat on the back (front of arm higher than back is anti squat). On the front it's almost universally called kick up.

If the front of the arm is lower than the back it is called pro-squat (rear) or anti-dive (front).

Basically the higher the front of the arm compared with the rear of the arm the better the car will react to bumps at speed but it may slightly reduce drive out of a corner.
