Axle looks good!
Now's a good time to raise the swaybar mounts also. Otherwise it can bind the steering at droop. Will allow OTK steering also.

That's it. Springs need to be seated in the bucket to get the positioning of links correct.
A truss will shift the weak point of the axle.
Add these along with it;
