Some tips:
Reset your suspension for your new weight distribution. 5-10LB overhanging your fork really changes things.
Find a good way to separate wet from dry gear (clothes, sleeping bags, rain jackets, tarps...). I keep wet gear outside bags.
Mudhugger fender has a nice amount of rigidity to prevent bag/tire contact in case of bag slip
There's such a thing as underfilling your bags (if they sag they bounce more)
My packed volume has since come down thanks to a new sleeping bag (3L packed size! WTF!)
