Thanks for the kind words.

The only things I would change are simple alignment basics; camber and toe. I generally try not to increase caster (doesn't really need much more anyway), because it raises the outer tie rod pivot location and can increase bumpsteer. Not much, but it's there.

For camber, obviously that depends on your tires. The camber gain is fairly aggressive in this suspension, so 0.75 to 1.5 degrees is all you need (static) unless if the tires spec more. Toe is fun to play with, and I like to have slight toe out, as little as possible. Works very well.

We also carry a line of stuff to "fine tune" our suspension. Solid rack mount bushings, adjustable flow steering pumps, custom rack torsion bars, etc.
