Nice progress Jim. I like the short arms too.
Just FYI, when I built the frontend around the Teraflex knuckle I set it up to run the drag link under not over the knuckle. I don't think I had as much clearance as you do (I had less back spacing on my wheels I think) and also there are so many variables with the amount of pitman arm drop and track bar upper mount.
Also, I welded the counter sink washer to the lower track bar mount to run a 1/2 inch counter sink bolt the opposite direction you show. It was the one compromise I was never really happy with and I'd say your on the right track running it the way you show it there. I would recommend cutting that washer off though to get a better tightening surface.
It looks like your on the right track and I'm looking forward to seeing it done.
