Looks great! 
I'm just in the process of lowering mine a bit as it was sitting far too high! I've just fitted +60mm Dobinsons coils on the back and will be doing the front next.
I've been thinking about 3 linking my rear like you have and my only concern is that the trailing arm brackets on the axle are obviously designed to be bolted to the trailing arm in 2 places and will the brackets hold up to just being bolted in one place.
I'm guessing you havent had any problems?
But if I do another big trip like my Simpson Desert one will they hold up to thousands of k's of corrugations.
The corrugations are so hard on vehicles, cracked chassis's arnt uncommon.

I reckon they are under less stress as they don't have to deal with stopping the axle from rotating now, I've had no problems at all
Went to slab common with a few mates, the hilux is 4 link rear with fedima 37s and twin arbs, the four track is 3 link a frame rear with insa turbos and welded rear diff
Tall & skinny category, they should do nicely in the soft and smelly stuff!
It's a vicious looking tread pattern, I recon you could plough a field with them

Tyres are great in the mud, and fairly quiet on road so thumbs up from me!

Door cills are solid apart from the rear where the arches used to overlap and trap mud so rather than just replace the little bit I did box section cills/sliders, also welded up the wheel arch flare holes and set fire to the interior lol
