Looks like a nice welding job..Was it TIG welded?

I do have two concerns based upon the pictures. Typically, "Coil over" shocks are installed perfectly vertical. The other is the four link. Not much support for the front brackets. The center loop offers little reinforcement so too much load could twist the mountings. I would play it safe and add some additional gussetts to the front link brackets and reinforce the crossmember with a piece of box tubing to trianglulate the crossmember to the frame on both sides.

Not tryng to be a critic, but I build these systems for race cars and have seen them brake apart when not properly reinforced.
