I chose to extend my upper link at the axle end instead. Just use a longer bolt and a piece of fuel tubing and you're all set.

Does this help with rear "axle steer"? What are the other advantages?

It completely eliminated my torque twist. Mine isn't that long. but just long enought to turn my rear pinion slightly upward. For me, it made all the difference in the world. I can climb as steep as the tires will let me with no twist at all.

I'm sure that the improved driveline angle will help A LOT, especially with the VF Dig.
