umm quick questing roasty....

I noticed how you have 1 link to the axle.... whats going to prevent it from torquing? Obviously you aren't finished yet, but I just was wondering due to its placement on the axle there would need to be more room for the other upper (or lower where ever you decide to place it) link.

this is a common three link coilover setup, so there is no upper link. there is another link on the other side just like the one you see, as well as a track bar (track bar does nothing for wrap though).
the lower links are capped with balljoints (freakin awesome). they will not allow for any play due to their placement on the center of the axle. when the axle droops, the caster may change, but not enough to cause a problem with wraping. its a custom axle, so the caster and pinion angle are also custom set for my specific truck/setup and are going to be just fine at full droop.
ball joints are super smooth and flexy too! no rubber crap to wear out in this suspension!
i can't wait to see how it rides, it should be alot more comfortable than stock suspension.
