No need for a front shaft in a mall crawler, just another part to rust from non use and another thing to wear out...

There is a tube that ties the 2 sides of the subframe in the front, are you going to add another tube toward the back as well? It looks tight with the t-case diaper, but it should fit, that way it will give strength to the rear for when you do the back part of the truck.

How bout a small bar where I put the yellow line, and don't worry about the gusset I tried to black out (but got lazy).
I assume the other 4-link is going to be mounted on the sub-frame in the same manner?
If so, do the small bars on the same at the other end too
