I started from square one and went back to the stock JRB suspension, three wraps on the head-end and two wraps on the foot-end to provide as much upward lift without running out of too much stretch in the cords. I had my top-quilt laying in the hammock and increased wraps up until the quilt was a few inches higher than the hammock when hung on the side.

Also I hang head right feet left sometimes mainly due to an annoying street light in the neighbors yard, you can lay either way in the XLC, but for the rest of the testing I've been head left and feet right. The orange thing in the first pic was just a triangle thingy I had left clipped on, I removed that for the rest of the pics though.
I have the foot-end much higher than I normally do, but normally I keep it around the 16"-18" recommended mark, it makes no difference. Ridgeline is routinely taught but not tight, I can put a good bend in it when I'm laying in it.
