that looks like a recipe for disaster. the ball joint is working at extreme angle and may bottom and snap over a bump where suspension extremes happen. it is basically sitting at the lowest it can go without bottoming out, tearing the rubber boot or breaking the stud of the joint. the angle of the ball joint mount should be more neutral when in the middle of the suspension travel or basically at ride height with lower control arm level, from side to side view.
from a suspension geometry standpoint the upper control arm is going to move the upper ball joint outwards as the suspension goes upward. this is going to cause the wheel to lean out and may cause tire to fender interference. possibly check the upper control arm from a 4x4 blazer or one with a lift, they have a dog leg look to them.
