I've got a watts on my Mustang and the bars are supposed to be parallel at ride height. When fully inflated the linkages look perpendicular to me which could become problematic...
@saturbo1107 You don't need a watts link on a Discovery, the wishbone (don't remember what it's technically called) takes care of positioning the axle laterally. You can consider longer springs, dislocation cones, swaybar quick disconnects, etc. You have a very advanced suspension to begin with, don't screw it up. Stock it can already droop 9" or so, and with the swaybar off you can potentially go beyond that. Also be sure with long shocks like you mentioned that they can't bottom out.
It's a watts link, it is used in place of a track bar so the axle will stay centered throught the whole range of motion rather than pulling to one side, like with a track (panhard) bar.

does it matter if the bars are bent or straight
