If you are set on using an ALICE frame, then ditch the normal suspension and buy some MOLLE suspension. You can buy the shoulder straps for $10 online, and the waist belt for $10 online. Much more comfortable than the original issue ALICE suspension. See how good your googlefu is and look up "hellcat modification".
