I am also curious on the linkage. I am more concerned about some of the structure you've built. It looks like you chopped the frame and used the original rear piece to box it. I would be concerned about the strength, maybe fine, but wouldn't have been my choice. Most the bends look poor, they look like they are kinked. If left like that, it needs some serious gussets, I mean kinks are no good, neither are the butt welded angles I saw. It could fail, and collapse, in a roll over or from anything really. I might be wrong about kinks, thats what it looks like in the photos.
The shocks are definitely on steep compounded angles, you should be aware of a loss in efficiency. For every inch of actual travel, you will use less than an inch of the actual shock. Makes for big travel, but I can't say how well it will work. My set up is on a similar sort of angles, I took a risk, and am doing a little experimenting there. I've planned from the start to redo the mounting if it sucks. I was really wanting to save the tub on my cruiser and wanted to try it first before I cut out the floor. It seems to work, I got my ride height correct, but needs more testing. I am still optimistic, but it may get redone. In your case I would consider at least adding some additional points for mounting. No reason not too, you have any option you want.
