Stresses the the link mounts some, but if it works, what the heck, but it might be better if you switch places with the shocks and green spacers, and put the link next to the inside mount.

I run my lower links parallel to the side rails with a 4 link upper and it works just fine, smooth action and the truck works in general.

Run it...see how you like it, worse case scenario you go back to how you had it before, right?

You might wana get some washers in with the shocks and spacers.Looks like the mounts are a bit stressed being pulled in like that.

You might want to measure your wheelbase. I tried running my links as you do but found that I ended up with a wheelbase over 12,5". I had the rig running low with a belly clearance around 2,5". Raising it up to 2,75", using the shortest possible rod ends and running the lowers triangulated in the front helped me get the WB at 12,5".

Later I've made a set of shorter links and can now play with ride height freely, without having to worry about the wheelbase.
