If those are the welds on the entire cage, you must be thrilled!! Very nice!! 
This rig is looking unbelievable. The ride height is perfect, low center of gravity, man, I can only imagine how much fun its going to be to be tearing up the trails with this bad ass rig.
Looking good!

your right, this is bottomed out on the upper control arms, just to make the cage easier to access ...not ride height ...ride height will be about 4-5 inches higher than this....still low center of gravity but high enough to stuff the tires

Full custom 4-link front and rear with 16" FOX coil-overs and FOX air bumps, Ballistic Super-duty zinc-coated joints, aluminum control arms, full hydro steering and a stretch front and rear to between a 106"-110" wheelbase. This set-up provides 16 inches of wheel travel, the coil-overs will come from the axle, through the engine bay and about 4 inches out the hood (like many buggies seen in rock comp to keep ride height low for Center Of Gravity)....same goes for the rear only they will come out of the fender well on the tub and be enclosed for weather purposes ....let me know if there are anymore ?'s...more than happy to answer

I know you said there are still a couple tubes to add to the cage, but just in case they aren't planned, you need some triangulation on the sides by your back wheels.
