"I just custom made the existing lower control arms to adjustables and the lateral control arm too."
Lateral ? the pan-hard rod ? or the upper trailing arms ?
What kind of joints ? rubber , pillow , rose ? where used .
Most people make the upper arms adjustable , because making the lower arms adjustable , normally make the arm shorter to get the correct pinion angle if the vehicle is lower that standard . Adding to the torque force on the arms and making the wheelbase shorter , not good for handling .
The pinion is offset for a torque equalization of the live axle , this is a direct relation to the torque force applied . Just making a straight line sometimes doesn't make it better , this is more trail and error . I found that going the opposite way worked for more dry weather traction , than wet for instants .
