Most of the time the suspension is traveling thru it's range of motion when going in a straight line(bumps and whoops or jumps). Not much is spent turning at full bump or droop.

Midboard plates welded up. 3/8" HRPO courtesy of Rick s and 3/16 4130 tabs keyed and welded. I'm no pro welder but I can daub a bit of metal in place.

H Arms done but not complete.LOL!!!!! Wheel is one of the Douglas 2" backset.  I will be replacing them with Champions of I THINK 6.5" backset.  I know I can use 5.5".  Gotta do a bit of checking.

on the lower control arm in this pic is this the finished product or are you going to weld a tube across to connect all four or the inner two?  just wondering.

It gets a brace(likely plated) and tied together when shock mount location is pinned down.

No more than any other plate used to weld trailing arms to  would have.  The midboards came with a 3/8" plate to weld ta's to but was too small to mount the tabs to therefore the new plate.   Easily remedied.

Gotta mount shocks and get the new rear wheels.Then yes.I assume a couple of weeks by the time I get some waterjetted parts drawn up and done and get the wheels here.Douglasses are not being produced right now in the 5.5" backset but for a couple  hundred more I can get Champions in any backset I want in about 2 weeks to my door. So yeah I'd say 2 weeks.
