Nice work but I've never seen it done like that. The 2x6 sub-frame isn't welded directly to the frame, just to the OEM hangers! Hmm, interesting approach.
My thoughts as well, I would at least have welded a few extra straps between the I-beam and the 2x6 subframe. Plus gussets on the new spring hangers since side forces will be higher, but at least the new hangers appear to be thicker steel, so probably ok.
