so i am not there in person but that upper looks like a long run with out any lower support. with the tube above it i would be plenty strong but if you get bored and can look past my poor mod in paint lol this would be an idea. that would be a support tube from under the shock mount to the top of the of the suspension cradle. as far as that upper bracing....if your going to put anything in there i would cross them. i don't think you really need anything up there personally but that's up to you.

Damn quick nice work.  You will like the updates.  DS suggestion of tube under shock mount is a good idea, I bent that tube from a landing.
You can keep your CHANGE, I'd like to keep my DOLLAR.

looks very clean indeed!

should i tell you now that the a arms are pointed the wrong direction??

just kidding  rofl rofl  sorry couldn't help it.

so when you aligned it you centered the rack and locked it in place first right?

what angles did you set on camber and caster? always curious to see what people decide.

Welded the cradle in at about 1 deg up. Gave it 3/16 toe-in, eyeballed the camber (can't remember which direction is - and + but tops closer than bottoms)  :D
The sand will decide what it wants.

Great job of tying it all in, looks like it was made that way from the start.  Enjoy the sand, our season is about done here

with power steering i would suggest 9 to 10* caster, -.5 to-1* camber. toe sounds great. budlight is correct looks like it was built that way!
