What ?

Just pointing out that the rear link configuration of that rig tends to not work real well. Depending on what you want out of it, it will probably be fine...

Looks good.

I'm no expert.

The straight lowers equate to rear steer during articulation. The original Warn XCL kit I had on my Jeep was setup this way, straight lowers, triangulated uppers.

It really isn't much to be concerned with from what I remember.

I'm no expert either. Just my experience with running both setups is that setup will rear steer much more. This has been confirmed by people who are experts.
It's not the end of the word. It's just if I were that far into doing mods I would have changed this too while I were at it.
:edit: Also his trtiangulation is at the axle end while mine is at the frame end. It's opposite.
