Cool. Those look almost exactly like the ART pieces I bought/used.

The trailing arm and panhard crossmembers add some rigidity that you didn't have before. If you're gonna be very low that body mount crossmember will cause driveshaft interference issues. You can build new supports for it to use it as the shock crossmember or section the existing supports. Maybe try a truck shock crossmember- it might work. You definitely want to tie the frame together at the spring perches and have those supports in place to keep the frame from flexing in that area.

Lookin good so far...
