Well here is mine and I don't believe there will be any problem. If you look at the way Friction shocks work and are mounted then you'll see that they work about the same.
HAceT,
Your shocks are mounted correctly in that they want to to rotate around the mounting bolts instead of trying to twist against them. No matter which way you rotate or locate the shock eyes, they should always swing on an arc around the mounting bolt. Even though most OEM shocks have rubber eyes they will only flex so much. As to your shock bracket. It is pretty good as to how you attached it. By over lapping the sides you have put the welds in shear instead of tension. Anytime you can do that you are way ahead of the game. The only thing I might do would be to box the rear of the two brackets. In the event you were to twist up the axle really bad somehow, the bracket would be much stronger.
Radius rods: If you are going to use either rodends or rubber bushed ends then you really need to put them in double shear. There are several ways to do this with the setup as it is. You can just add a second duplicate mounting bracket or you could bend up several over lapping brackets that captured the rodend and welded to the exsisting main bracket. This will take off any unwanted side loads through the bearing housing. And just for the record, I have no problems with anyone using rodends. If you size them accordingly and allow for the applied loads then you should have zero problems. I know that several others don't feel this way but I do. I have used them for years in everything from race cars to street cars and have never looked back. I will again use them in my next project. As always, this is just my opinion based on work in my industry over the last 35 years, but then again, we all know about opinions! Hope this will give you something to think about.
