Looks sweet!
When you angle the shocks, you typically up the valving to compensate, as the wheel travel is now acting on the shock from about 45 degrees....so the increase in valving is proportional to the change in leverage...and to help prevent wheel hop and axle wrap issues, you typically FURTHER upgrade the rebound damping to compensate.
Depending up how flexy your leaves are, and how much the ball shackles let it rock, etc...the wrap might be limited to hill climb situations, etc...where loading and torque conspire to wind up the drivetrain.
If REALLY flexy, the axle may get into a rear steer twist as well on hard acceleration, asymetrical terrain undulations, etc.
Of course - If REALLY flexy, the shocks will probably be too short again....
I'm spring UNDER, and the shocks are up/down...and I need 29" extended for full travel.
Your shocks (32" exentended) are only 3" longer...but are starting on top of the axle, whereas my mounts are at the bottom of the axle...., but yours are angled, requireing more travel to allow the same droop, etc.
So - the 3" extra might be a tad short yet.
Figure I get more than an inch of wheel travel for every inch of shock travel, due to the closer inboard position, but at ~ 45 degrees...you might be close to one for one, etc?
One side stuffed, one side drooped you should be fine I think....its double drooped that looks short.
The extra clearance and all look great....once you figure out the shaft and shock issues, that's a killer set up.
