Looks good!!
But I see a problem you might have (like I did) that RE fails to mention in the instructions....the rear control arms will make contact with the rear body mounts when flexing if you dont trim them.

Being my is a 4 door, its a little different, but it looks like yours is in the way also. My arms were a 1/4" from hitting the body mount while on the ground, let alone flexing it out, how they dont put that in the instructions is beyond me
I do like the tucked up arm mounts though, they dont catch on rocks very easy, unlike the FT arm mounts
Here are some pics of mine, the body mounts used to go down the bottom of the frame and almost touch the arms, I needed to trim them for my new rock rails (per their instructions) anyway

Yeah, I noticed mine after I installed the arms and put the Jeep on the ground. So I jacked it right back up, put it on stands and fixed it. I just used my 5" grinder with a cutting wheel and zipped them off below the body mount bolt.
