Then your body wont fit??? I'd think more along the lines of different spring rates and use different grades of grease and spacers for smaller adjustments.

When I was driving the FGX this is what I did.

Camber is adjusted with the front link and caster the back link, I used the option FGX steel 3deg plate even with the IFS and using the EXOTEK IFS plate I didn't use their strenghtening plate, It was way stronger, caster can be adjusted there as well by moving back or forth on the plate.
The ride I adjusted with spacers on the king pin at the lower arm seeing the spring there is no longer in use with the IFS, use a smaller king pin, spacer under the arm raised ride height spacers on top lowered, droop was always at full
