3/4" heim joints are fine on steering, though 7/8" would last longer. Many, many hard core rigs and buggies are built using 3/4" heims on the steering. 3/4's are usually too weak for lower control arms, though. They can work on upper arms, but bigger is better.
On the buggy leaf, I'd recommend using an additional shorter leaf. Right now you have a stress riser and weak point on the single buggy leaf at the first mounting bolt. If you added a second, shorter, leaf that went a little ways past that bolt, it would eliminate that stress point and the probability that the buggy leaf will eventually break.
